MPC newjack Questions

[crestone]

Im a fairly new MPC 2000xl user. I don't have a paper manual,so running back and forth to the PC is a bitch. My first ? is about zone chopping. I set the amount of zones, then edit the start/stop points for each slice. In the Edit screen, I select slice sound. I select no pgm. The problem is when it slices it puts the start/stop back to the original points that the MP created What am I doing wrong? Is it an OS prob? Am I just a dummy?

Second ?: can someone expain the use of tracks? I seem to have sampling, Editing, and triming down. Also sequencing one PGM doesnt seem to be a prob.
Third?: Say I load drums on bank one. Can I assign 16 levels of say bass to another bank? Maybe a sliced sample to another bank?

Somebody help a brother out. Thanks y'all..

peace

also- How can I check to see if I have the latest OS?

Try option to create a new program when you zone chop.
Tracks are when you build you sequence /pattern with.
Its a good idea to use a UNUSED track for each sound you tap in.
Like Track 1,KICK,track 2 you hat,and so on..
That way you can use the track mutes later.

Now any sound (in you 4 pad banks)can be assigned to your 16 levels(but only one sound at a time)
