Propellerheads Recycle vs. manual decay

Does anyone on the list use Recycle in addition to their MPC for beats? Lately, I've made some progress with creating artificial decay on kick and snare chops solely with the MPC but things are still not sounding quite right on my sequences. I don't want to replace my MPC for creating beats but I would like to pick up a program that can ease the tediousness of recreating natural-sounding drums from MPC drum chops. Thanks

check the dj shadow article thread: also tutor plans to cover this in more detail in the upcoming e-book he is planning

agreed with peter- i do this to any samples i feel i need decay on- but want to manipulate time wise.....recycle is definitly good for this but you can keep it inside the mpc...
