Pad Kit
Each square is a pad. Filled = has a sample. The blue chip is the computer key that plays it.
Sample kits (Brazilian Funk, RKT Dembow) are real one-shots that fill all 4 banks A–D. Synth kits (808/909/Lo-Fi/Keys/Bass) are generated on your machine and load onto the active bank.
Bank
4 banks per program — 48 sounds on MPC500, 64 on MPC1000.
