assigning samples from one program to another?

Hi all I'm Jon, I am new to this forum and to mpc production, I have been using roland samplers for about a year - and eventually bit the bullet and went for the 2000xl. The machine is immaculate and is a pleasure to play, its easy to appreciate why AKAI's are so highly regarded. I got the machine and upgraded the floppy to a card reader.

Anyway. My problem (or lack of understanding) - I sliced a sample into 16 zones from one program and it was automatically assigned to a new program. I saved it all successfully etc. However, I want these new 16 samples to be assigned to another bank within the original program.

So i load up the original program and try to assign one of the new slices to a spare pad bank, but i cannot locate the new samples. Could this be an issue of the new slices not being laoded into memory? (even though i have already loaded the new program)

Any ideas?
Much appreciated.

Jon

forget it - worked it out 5 minutes after posting.
Doh!

well, i have read the manual about three times in the last week, and the way i discovered i could solve my problem is not mentioned in the manual (if it is - thats some cryptic shit).

Just about everything is mentioned in the manual, often it isn't worded the best way, but it is.

By the way, whenever I do zone slices, I never have it put it in a program automatically, because its just a waste (for me) because I like putting everything in the same program (just my style).

I'm sure i will discover how to assign the zones into my current program eventually - right now im saving as new programs.

Thanks for your help both. The manual is very comprehensive, it is the wording that throws me.

when you chop the new sample put it as new program no. Then go to the main screen go to programs, pick wich drum program you want to work with,then wich bank you want and hit each pad and assign the sample with the jog wheel. then you have to save the program again .May be a better way but thats how I do it.
