Playing samples from an MPC into Virus TI

[ogion]

Hi everyone, 1st post here, lovin my Virus TI desktop it does almost everything I need it too, except sample.......

I know it's not a sampling machine but is there any alternative ways that I can play samples with my Virus TI?

Preferably with my MPC1000, and hoping to steer clear of a computer or iPad.

So I can have, say, a 'sitar' sample on my MPC and play/process it thru my Virus in different notes and octaves across the keyboard?

Really hoping there's a way I can make this happen.

Thanks in advance.
Og.
