you have to make sure the tempo of the loop is the BPM you set in your MPC. THe loop may not be 92 BPM it may be slower or faster. When you do it again. Try hitting the tap tempo button 3 to 4 times. That will get you close to what the tempo is supposed to be

Yeah when you sample something you always have to find the bpm of the sample using tap tempo. If the sample is to slow or fast you can pitch it up and down inside the mpc or you can put the sample in your computer and timestretch it with a software program.

THANKS YOU ALL :D
I HAVE TURNED OFF THE QUANTIZE OPTION,BUT IT'S VERY HARD TO FOLLOW THE TEMPO, DO YOU PRODUCE YOUR BEATS LIVE(WITHOUT QUANTIZE)?
AND HOW TO USE THE TAP TEMPO OPTION? I HAVEN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO PITCH A SAMPLE UP OR DOWN...
LET ME KNOW
THANKS AGAIN

the tap tempo button can be used to tap out a tempo of a beat, you can adjust the number of taps to average the tempo from in the other section.

also it can be used in conjunction with the quantize feature, when enabled at 1/16, if you hold down a pad (or two or three) and the tap button it will fill out the beat playing the sample every 16th of the bar.
