alright so i sample my drum kits from my motif into my mpc and i just create a new program for each drum kit, but i had like been making songs with the like 10 drum kits i did, but yesterday i added in like 10 more, having to restart my mpc after i recorded 3 programs worth every time, but this morning when i loaded up all of my drum kits, i relealized that like none of my sounds i recorded yesterday are being triggered, its all other sounds from the first samples i recorded, why the **** wont my samples even if there are like 7 named sample 1, why arnt they staying in their dam program kits i saved them to, so now i went through and deleted the 4 hours of work i put in yesterday because my mpc wont collect my shit right

Did you know there's quite a few steps you must go through to guarantee that single and multiple programs are saved properly.

For one, did you ever tag the programs you wanted to save? Pages 91 thru 93 in the reference manual gives details on how to do this.
