When I load my first .PGM i put it on the A Sound Bank, but when I try to load my second and put it on the B Sound Bank it replaces the sounds on the A Sound Bank, I was wondering how I load them each on their own bank? Thanks alot in advance!

Seems like you don't understand the programs right. Each program has 4 banks. A, B, C, D. So you can have 64 sounds in one program.

To use more than one program at once, assign them to DRUM 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Read the manual again.

go into the programs menu(SHIFT+6)....then you can assign the pgms to whichever bank you want...

What I am trying to accomplish is using different sounds from different programs together in one sequence simultaneously (such as a kick from one and a snare from another in conjunction), Is this possible?

How is this possible, I have assigned them to different drums, but when I switch them to add a sound to my initial sequence all the sounds change.

Once you rec a track, don't switch the drum on that track.
In the same seq, go to another track, switch drums to record another sound.

And read the pg I reffered you to, it should help ALOT.
