IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY TO SET UP DRUM PROGRAMS??

When I produce I don't make programs for my drums I just load them up as I go. I'm just now getting into making my own drum programs on the 4k. Is there an alternate way of setting up drum programs going through each sound 1 by 1 assigning it to the pads is a bit time consuming

no,
you get out what you put in

but if you buy your drums off of www.mpc-samples.com they are already preloaded into programs so all you have to do is hit load on the folder and the rest is done for you

No, but Yes. If you literally think 'outside the box'...

If you TRIGGER your drums via midi and a DAW (use the DAW as a sound-module) then you instantly have the ability to load/ change complete drum sets at once or load multiple samples at once.

This is most easily done using a drum machine instrument such as Ultrabeat/ Redrum or a sampler plug-in like EXS24/ NN-XT/ Battery.

Assuming you have a DAW to work with, this method may speed up your work-flow and provide the added benefit of having some preset/ customised drumkits ready to go and a much larger colour screen to edit them on!

There are some popular threads around here that describe how to set this up using various DAW's.
