When I hit MODE then hit the pad for PROGRAM and try to lad the samples onto the pads that I want them to be on... Once I hit MAIN to go back to the main screen again the pads don't have the sounds that I loaded onto them. The pads will have the same sound on all the pads sometimes. Please help with this i dont know what I'm doing wrong. I've even tried to put my drum sounds on one program and other samples on another but when i try assigning them to the pads it all seems good when im in the PROGRAM mode but once im back to the main screen and want to play with the pads the samples are not in the order that i loaded them.

Did you read the manual with a clear and open mind and clear understanding what was written?

With your one post it seems you're looking for an easy way out, or somebody to spoon feed you info you can obviously get from the manual itself. If you're lacking the manual then say so.

Just keeping it real no different than a teacher would do.

I don't have the manual or a computer right now. All of the info that I need I try to receive it through my phone. No manual or computer.. Just the MPC itself.

Ok, then I'd advise you to go somewhere (friends house, library, etc.) and download it from akai's website (free). But if you're able to frequent this site, you should be able to do the same @ akaipro.com.

Even accessing the manual for reference will make life a whole lot easier for you.

Now to answer your initial question...are you saving the program once things have been loaded in it the way you want?

You have to save your material or else you'll loose it. Plus when on the main page you have to see if that program shows as the selected part. IE: (int) out 1: part, part: program or whatever you titled the saved folder of your samples.
