thnx for the reply

just to clarify, i wasnt saying the MV couldnt do it. in fact i was pretty sure the mv could do it cause it has MV written all over it. it was my own limitations getting stuck on doing it via SMT (like the mpc head did it)
I meant that the mv8000 using this technique utilizing the
pattern mode like smudge proposed...cant record it in real time in the pattern track..which is a real setback. well it actually can do it by re sampling and having the metronome on...create say a 4 bar loop, with a groove and samples you like. but i wanted to stay away from re sampling cause then the result would be static. i might have to rethink that though.
lemme reiterate that i think the pattern mode way of doing it
is perfect for the 88.... a hoop or two to jump through on the 8k.
i like your idea with the event list too maybe there's something in there too....but how you propose it...if we are re sampling our own drum patterns and then transposing the note to change chops (instead of the individual sounds within the chop) and re sampling again to make more nice drum chops. arent we basically chopping up our own drum breaks? and keep the limitation that we cant change individual sounds?
practical example.... i love the drum pattern i just created. how it grooves together. I want to change the snare though. the snare and only the snare. if i just transpose to another chop with a snare in it the pattern changes. the sd has different timing...the hat following the sd hits differently..maybe its a different hat. I get that there are work arounds for that too but at this point I rather just chop up a drumbreak
