I finally put my 8-output in, hooked up the CD-ROM and fired up my MPC after having it for about a month.......I loaded the Sound Library and though rookie, just curious because when you load the drums like it says in the manual it says go to Pad Bank B, C, or D and see what other sounds are there yet, I get no sounds out of those, ONLY A? But I did notice this while playing around at my local Guitar Center, the sounds were only in A.....I'll need to read more, but whats up with that?

you have to assign them to different banks man......shift + program and then drum 1 and press the pad bank button and the actual pad and turn the jog wheel and assign them to the pad......

nah....actually those kits use a lot of pads......pad banks are sometimes dedicated to one instrument!!!
