Either way. The faster way on your 500 will be to add the kick , snare samps to a program on your 500 vs chopping.

You can also use Audacity or Propellerhead Recycle to chop your drum loops on your PC or Mac, and
Use an MPC-Editor like Blue Box to Make the Program kits on your PC/Mac with your Drum Samples (the loop you chopped up in Recycle or the kick, snare samples on your PC/Mac) then transfer to your 500.

I am using the blue box to create programs but when i load them up to the 500 it dosent record properly. For example, ill hit pad 6 and it'll record pad 2 but when it records it records all choppy. y does it do that???
