Lol

The ren is a sampler sequencer.. There's an online manual. You are kinda asking us to translate it for you so you can understand it quicker. Tutor has some great material if your really stuck and need to get going.. Check the two buttons on this board next to home... All the info you need there... Pretty sure there are mpc ren guides there..

I really recommend MPC Tutor's guide :
http://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/ ... laid-bare/

I got it last year and it really helps you to understand everything. Some newer features may be missing because there was a few updates since it was released but once you've read this and followed steps you're going to figure it all out really easily.

....explain the world in you tube vids....

sometimes, reading a manual helps....

at least to find out what to ask exactly......

You have enough equipment to perform samples.

You need to learn how to use it, and practice using it.

Thank you everybody for all the great guidance. I will update as soon as i learn more and get the hang of the basics . Thank you all once agin greatly appreciated .
