i will try to write something up tomorrow and send it.
wav files actually already have the ability to store multiple loop points (see
http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html#smpl).
JJ merely needs to increase the "Num of Sample Loops" as well as the "List of Sample Loops" to account for the extra "Chop" Cue Points. Each "Chop" would be a different Cue Point ID within the List of Sample Loops. Chop "00" would be the default loop points which are referenced by any other mpc which does not have the ability to utilize the extra Cue Points.
A single field would have to be added to each Sample Layer of a pad to specify which "Chop" to reference when playing the sample.
Example Program Screen:
Pgm:Program01 Chop Levl Tune Range
1:Sample1 00 100 +00:00 0-127
2:Sample1 01 100 +00:00 0-127
3:Sample1 02 100 +00:00 0-127
4:Sample1 03 100 +00:00 0-127
Sorry, this board doesn't allow me to make the columns line up, but you can get the idea.
Finally add a field for "Chop" to the Trim screen next to the Sample name so that you could adjust the start and end points of each chop independently, and make sure that when WAV files are saved, they're saved with the extra Cue Point ID's.
Example Trim Screen:
Sample1 -L Chop:01
St:00000000 Loop:00000000 End:10000000
mention "chop like asr 10" or "non-destructive" somewhere in there and youll be fine... But i think this could be far too comlicated, or is there any other mpc out there which can do that?
