Can anybody tell me if there is a way of automatically assigning samples to pads when loading them? I hate when I have 30 chops and I have to go to each pad and scroll through all my samples to find the right one. Is there any way around doing that?

Get familiar with the Autoload feature. Of course, you'll still have to assign the samples one by one the first time but after that, the chops will be there whenever you turn on the machine.

Read these subjects in your manual:

Chapter 14 - Creating Autoload Folder p.95 and Saving Data to Internal Flash Memory p.101.

I don't see anyone else complaining.

Assigning samples to pads is part of the process of creating programs so get on with it.

And if you don't like changing banks so often, get a better MPC, meaning one with at least 16 pads...
