sounds in mpc

Ok bare with me I have did a search but still not completely sure of the process.


#1. Lets say I load up drums samples in the mpc is it gone to
DRUM 1,2,3, or Drum 4. If I understand correct I can load 16 samples per bank A-D for each of the 4 Drum Folders.

Drum 1 = pad 1-16 Bank A-D totals 64 samples
Drum 2 = pad 1-16 Bank A-D totals 64 samples
Drum 3 = pad 1-16 Bank A-D totals 64 samples
Drum 4 = pad 1-16 Bank A-D totals 64 samples

Total 256 samples

#2. If I load a sample up and then load another second sample to the same pad and select replace does the old sound get erase from ram and pad or just from the pad

#3. (Shift 6 and then select DRUM 1) under the ASSIGN there is a PAD ASSIGN option for MASTER or PROGRAM ... I have turned the option from Master to program and no difference... Explain this option.

#4. How do you reassign the note pad number on the MPC

example Bank A pad 1-16
note#
35 36 37 38
39 40 41 42
43 44 45 46
47 48 49 50

THANK for all of those that are serious about posting helpful solution.

To all of the negative commenters and wise crackers..."please now is not the time!!!!!!!!

go to program and hit a pad then scroll to select the sample you want there.

repeat with each pad.

Ok i assigned a snare to pad1 DRUM 1
Then i assigned a kick to pad 1 Drum 2
Now when i go to pad 1 in drum 1 mode its a kick and not the snare, what am I doing wrong

assign all pads in drum 1, they should really have called this Bank 1, 2 etc.

Drum 1 2 3 & 4 are each a bank of 16 pad settings.

Hey are you the same Mr.808 from AH?

AH????????Ahhhhhhh what is that

Ok now correct me if i'm wrong Bank a-d are the 16 pad banks and Drum 1 has a Bank a-d, Drum 2 has a Bank A- d, so on and so one.

Now in the main screen under the track name there is a S or M mode for for Single or Multiple...Correct

Next to it is the Drum 1-4 mode...ok... should I be able to load up 16 sound on Drum 1 bank A and a different 16 sound on Drum 2 bank... with out have to go to Bank b from Drum 1


Hope you are still with me!!!!!!!!

ok, I'm wrong, drum 1-4 are banks of 4 banks each. just fill one first.

"AH????????Ahhhhhhh what is that"

I guess not.

elmacaco, I was a long time member there long, long ago. Is AHOT still around?

yup, I don't sub to ot now, just AH. I imagine it is about the same as you remember it. I like it still, people are posting a lot more sound files though.
probably due to greater connection bandwidths.
