Aight, peep it. I chop all my samples in protools cause the mpc 500 screen is pretty small and its hard to see what your doing. So i first sample it on to my mpc from the record player then i send it too protools. I chop up each sound i wanna use and save them individually (looong process) so after i have those files ready.. i cant seem to put them back on my mpc.. when u bounce a file from protools is in wave, i know the mpc cant read that so i need help. How do u put the choped samples back on the indivdually pads on the mpc.. thanks.. peace.

The mpc reads wav files in 16bit, 44.1khz (mono or stereo). So make sure you're saving the wav files in the right format.

Check out page 97, Loading a File, in the user manual. After that, read chapter 12, Program Mode starting on page 73.

create a new folder, called something like "Sampled and Chopped", then create another folder inside of that one and name it whatever you like and export those chopped files to that folder. Make sure they are in .wav format.
