What do you put/keep in your user banks?

New to the 505 and forum. Olby is a legend and a hero.

Anywho, theres 4MB internal memory for the 8 user banks right?
So i figure i'll put 2 banks of kicks, 2 banks of snares, 1 bank hihats
1 bank toms and crashes, 1 bank basses, and 1 bank of breakbeats.

How do you all have your 505's configured and why?

[ellaguru]

normally i got random samples/chops or bass/synth things, i use it (the 505) almost often because of its great pitch function.
then i sequence the whole.

[knobsmcgee]

if your chops/samples are random, how do you make sure theyre in key with whatever you're working with?

you sequence on your 404? why? isnt the 505 seq more featured?

thanks

i don't have an sp404.
i use other samplers/seq: hardware-sp606/sp303/mc909/st224 or software-ableton live
the reasons why i don't use the 505 alone is for the fact that it doesn't able to do resampling of patterns (mc909/st224 does that)...

I just leave the internal stuff blank and rock the mem card. It's much easier to back things up that way. I've also only used internal mem with no card before too.

I might go back and load up internal with drum sounds, but that's what my iPad is good for.
