hey sooty - this is similar to what i was trying to desribe a few posts up. - you can do it this way all ready to a certain extent:
1.create and save a pgm with generic sample names e.g. sample1, sample2 etc
2.clear memory or delete the samples from memory and reset the sample naming to "samplex"
3.load just the pgm ( in GPE missing samples should be visible e.g. "?sample1")
4. using the input thru screen use record button to capture samples
5. the samples are now automatically assigned to the pads according to the pad layout and the naming increments
the current limitations are : the default buffer, no quick way to reset the naming, using in-thru samples the main out and the sequencer stops when you hit stop.
the default buffer is a problem if you want to capture accurate one shots. I was doing it by hitting record at exactly the same time as doing a beatbox sound with my mouth. I experimented with Qlink to sample start to counteract the buffer, which was better but still not ideal.
For "quick and dirty" though this method my work for you.
