Hi guys !

I'm new in the fantastic world of MPC, and enjoy the stuff. But I need your help !

I got problems with the PGM making.

I explain by an exemple, my english is too bad to explain it in an other way.

I load (in "a" bank ?) a guitar samples .pgm. I record my sequence, guitars on track 1.

Here the problem. I want to load a drumkit in "b" bank to record it on track 2. But if I try that, my guitar samples disappears. Quite logic, because I clear memory, if I don't the new .pgm's not loaded.

Is there a way to do it ? Or am I in obligation to make a complety new .pgm loading each sample one by one ?

And how is it possible to make a complete song in this way ? If I want to add some sounds, I got to make a new .pgm... So original one disappears, and th song is unplayable... I'm lost !

Heeeeeelp !

When you load in more than one program, you have go assign the second program to the "track" you want it to play on.. example.. u load pgm "guitar" and u play your sequence on track 1... then u load pgm "drumkit1" it won't seem to play.. that's when you go to "track/params/program assign.. it lets you assign specific prgms to specific tracks.. I hope you understand..
