Can someone give a thorough and clear explanation of how:

you add a drum sample (like a snare shot) from a file on your computer to a single pad on the MPC touch?

you add a keygroup (like an 88 key piano) from a file on your computer to all the pads in all the banks?
(hoping I can give someone some of my MPC4000 programs, if I can't then I should be able to take a middle C note from a piano and have it spread across the pads (keys))

If there are video link that explain this, feel free to add that as well.

A guy has asked me to help him learn the Touch. I spent time explaining the MPC4000 just so he could get an understanding of what these units can sort of do. Now I have to show him on the Touch. I did a search but did not see the most basic 1-2-3.

At first I watched videos of the Touch and I thought this is the bomb. Then I saw the latency with the actual unit in front of me and I was like whoa! This cat has a powerful AMD processor in his laptop. I found the latency setting and tried to fiddle with it but couldn't fix it. For now, more importantly, answers to the above questions will suffice.

Appreciated,
Ian

Just navigate to that file with the browser and drag te file to the pad or double click the file in the browser and go to programs and assign it there.

As for the key group:
