MPC Ren Sampling Problem

Hi, I'm a new MPC Ren user and I'm having a problem with sampling that I can't seem to find help for anywhere.

I chopped up a sample and created a melody with a few of the slices into my sequence and added some drums on separate tracks. The chopped melody is made up of long synth-type chops.

I grabbed another chop from a different part of the sample, it's a female voice kinda going "Ahhhhh." I want to add this chop in randomly a couple times in the sequence on top of the chopped synth melody, but whenever I try to add it, even on it's own separate track, it interferes with the original chopped synth samples by like cancelling them out whenever the "Ahhhhhh" chop plays.

How can I add the "Ahhhhh" chop seamlessly into the sequence without it disturbing the chops that are already there?

Did you create a program of your sliced samples with the "Convert"-function in Chop-Mode?
If so, the pads of that program are set to Mutegroup 1 and, I believe, the program is set to Mono (master).

Create a new program for the Ahhhh sample.

Set that track to that new program.

Using that particular "Ahhhh" sample in a separate program works like a charm, but when I changed the mono to poly on both the main sample's program and each individual pad nothing changed.

Isn't there some way to set it so that the chopped samples will play on top of each other? Like if I hold down the first pad and then hold down the second pad they both overlap and play at the same time?

As mentioned above, remove them from the same mute group...

I noticed that when I added 2 of the chops from the original sample program into a different program I am able to play them on top of each other, but why doesn't it just do that in the original program that I put all the chops in after hitting "convert" in the first place?

They are in the same mute group.

Take them out of the same mute group, turn the mute group off for each sample, so they don't mute each other!

Read what people are trying to tell you...

Nevermind, I think I have it figured out now.

Thank you all for your help.
