MPC 2000 (not XL) still having trouble

Ok maybe it is me. I have read the manual and even asked questions and I am still having the same problem.

I have a disk I want to load to a some pad banks. The disk has an 808 kick. What I am trying to do is load the 808 kick to the top 4 pads on my drum sampler, but after I load the 808 kick to 1 pad and repeat the same process (LOAD THE SAME 808 KICK TO THE PAD NEXT TO IT) It says" file has already been loaded do you want to replace"? Am I doing something wrong, or is it that I can not load the same sound (808 kick to multiple pads)

Please Help!

Thanks

Correct.You can go into assign and assign the same sound to different pads but,why do you need the exact same kick on 4 pads?Try 16 levels to give it some variation and deeper drive.Or assign it to four pads and mess with the tuning,decay and attack.

Thanks

it means what it says, the file is already loaded so why take the time to reload it (thus replacing the sound with the same sound).

stryke said it best-

Its much more easier and faster to just assign it to multple pads.
Shift+Program then highlight the soundname (if there is no sound there, it says "off")
You can assign the same sound to multiple pads by doing this.
