8) Eazy Boy, welcome to the MPC Forum.

If your running a mac then google MPC PAD 187 and you can create programs for your MPC.

Otherwise load the sounds you want onto your CF Card, then do MODE -> LOAD (PAD 2) using your cursors select Program and use the Data wheel to select 'Sample'.

Then use the Cursor to select the folder name below e.g. '1.Kits' use the data wheel to find your directory and press right on the cursor.

Once you find the sample you want then press the 'Do it' button then press the pad you want it allocated to and press 'Do it again'.

Hope this helps :wink:
