for all of those who use my drum pgms - you will often find that the best kits according to your songs are found from multiple pgms. ie, in your kick/snare track, you may use "impeachprez" pgm and for your hat track you might use "nym got some"

this is very frustrating as you may clutter up your mpc with too many programs. this is a problem i often had in the old os. SO here's what you can do to eliminate this:

consolidate using the pad parameter copy that is new to os 2. use as many drum pgms as you want - and then make 1 more pgm called DRUMS and copy the used pads onto the DRUMS pgm in the exact same placement.

then, go back to all your drum tracks and swith the pgm to DRUMS.

done - now delete the pgms of mine you are no longer using and don't forget to purge!!

how cool is that?

i've got to bump this because it's getting slept on with all these new kids asking about mem and hard drives

nice feature that i'll def put to good use. but the way you worded it was kind of wierd, like we had to use your kits to get any use out of it though i know thats not what you meant. it'll be nice to use that to load a bunch of chopped up kits to browse and consolidate complementary samples into a new program for the track at hand.

go to program, then look at the far left - you see how vertically aligned it tells you what pad you're on? move to that part and hit window

there it is

you can also make your own 'customized' program using bluebox... :)

yeah most definitely - the program consolidation tool is more for those who have already used multiple programs

the bluebox consolidation tool would be more for people who have a clear idea of what they want to begin with.
