so i picked up a little xr20 the other day to fuck around on around the house, ive used some of the preset drum,1shot and synth 'sets' as are to make beats but i want/need to know if i can take some sounds from say three different 'sets' and then put them in a seperate 'set' say the drums from ''brooklyn'' the 1shot from ''glitch and a synth.
also im unsure how i can use the dial to tweak the synths, any ideas

cheers guys for any help, im not sure ive i have explained it well enough...heres to hoping

read your manual.  mpc's call the pad layout the 'program' so that thing might be similar.

you should really have some software in mind before you buy a midi controller.  they're not drum machines, they can be great, but if you don't have software it's a little like having a keyboard with no computer.
