Non-Contiguous Regions???? is it possible

This might be a lil complicated but let me try to explain what Im talking about. OK..... Say I have a break beat loop of some sort and I want to make 3 non-contiguous Regions. Meaning... that I want to make regions out of 3 seperate sections of the loop that do touch each other, in other words the Regions do not share an "edge" if you know what i mean.

I want to then use the slice/region funtcion in the edit [F4] window to make 3 seperate samples of the these regions.

Can this be done? non-contiguous regions? The way I end up doing it now is I make 5 regions, but I only want 3 of them so the other 2 sections are just going to get thrown away once I use region slice in the edit F4 window because the MPC wont let you just make 3 sections that arent touching each other. Know what I mean??? It seems that Region 1 has to share its endpoint with Region 2's startpoint and so on and so forth.

I think some software sample editor will let you do this but im not sure because Ive only read about them and havent used them.

I mean I could always go in and use the Extract function for each seperate section that I want, but it would be easier and faster If I could using regions and the region slice function.

you might be able to do this manuallt, using the extract function.

what you can do is do your regioning, but create regions in between the cuts you want.

Example: if you make 5 regions, and only want regions 1, 3, and 5...

Cut it into 5 regions, and then choose "delete section" on 2 and 4, and you would still have the three regions you want, non-contiguous. On the 2000xl, it chops those parts totally out of the sample, basically erases that section and adjusts the two surrounding sections to it.

Does that make sense? Is that possible on a 4k? I know you can do it on a 2000XL.

Hope that helps.

The thing is that I want to keep the original sample intact and just create 3 new samples to use as rythmic alterations on top of the orginal looped break beat. I guess it cant be done
