Well when you sample the MPC you are no longer using it's convertors and algorithms ! Now you are using whatever you have sampled it into ! If you want to keep the sound of your MPC pretty much intact you should track it back into your DAW with a good DI/Pre into good AD convertors , even with this you only retain about 85-90% of you original source because the DI add it's things the Pre-amp add it's thing , the convertor add it's thing and finally your DAWS audio algorithms add it's thing !
