so... i chopped a breakbeat in recycle and exported it as AKAI format file and also created a mid. file of the loop.
I load the slices and the midi file into my 25k create a nu program with the slice samples.
It plays back, but not properly. The breakbeat doesnt sound correct.
Do I have to assign the pads to the midi notes from C3 upwoards?
Or what else could it be?

Exporting as Akai is an .akp file which I beleive is an S5000/S6000 program file.

yes its .akp. but I also tried it by exporting it as .wav slices, same results.

Do i have to use chromatic order for the pads? i reckon that s it!

your doing the right export from recycle but you can't load the str8 in to the 2500 jump online and get the mpc editor software and import the recycle file then export it as 2000xl file with samples and then your set load in the midi file and all should work fine also make sure the tempo is set right on the 2500 to the exact tempo as the loop
