chopping made easier

I'm a newbie. I own an MPC 2000. Right now when I chop one entire sample into several parts, I'd have to copy the one entire sample into the amount of times I want to chop it which drives me crazy and is time consuming. Is there any easier way to record one sample, chop it however many times I like and place those parts onto pads without having to duplicate the original sample?
Thanks

saw on your profile that your have a mpc 2000. isnt that pretty much what the zoning feature does?

if thats not what your looking for, have you considered choping your samples on your computer? theres a program creator for the 2000 that allows your to build programs on your pc too. then you can load up the prepared samples/program on your mpc and you ready to go.

Im pretty sure the classic 2000 doesn't have zoning. I know the XL has it.

Just use Recycle to chop. It will save the chops as separate files for you, as well as the original unchopped sample, and place them in a folder.

You can burn that to a disk (no folder on the disk, 2000 classic can't read folders) and load up the chopped samples.

Then you just assign them to pads and you're good to go. If you have MPC Editor (available for free 30 day trial) you can even have the pad layout (PROGRAM) set and ready before you load onto your MPC.

can't you just section>newsound?

go back to the orig and work the next from the prev end point...
