Did you upload the samples to your memory card thru your PC and then put the card in or did you import them to the MPC via USB? Try the later and make sure they're WAV files [email protected]. I'm guessing you got a MPC500 right?

Anyway, everything you've imported should be in the save/load mode. Also, wait for the PC to tell you when to remove the USB cable, if taken out without authorization, it can mess up your files as well as your MPC.

No have not gone to trim mode,i already chopped the sample the way i wanted it,why would i need to go there?, and also should i have sample in stereo or mono?

I have done everything you have told me and i am still having the same problems,i guess there is something wrong with my cf card,but the funny thing is this problem only occurs with chopped samples not my drum kits.

Does this problem happen when you use the MPC to capture the samples?

Simply sounds like the wrong format.

Try to record to MPC see if this helps.
