Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Hey everyone,

Just recently got my hands on the mpc500. Haven't really had much of a chance to put anything together on it as I am running into a problem. I can't seem to apply sounds to the pads. There are already a few stock sounds on the pads that I can trigger and hear just fine, but having no luck assigning new sounds to pads.

Can enter record mode and hear my recording source just fine, record it, hit play to hear the recording, then when I go to assign it to a pad and hit "do it", after going into sequence and hitting the pad there is no sound.

If I do this on a blank pad I hear no sound and if I try to replace a stock sound on a pad the stock sound remains. Pad to sampler is switched on under midi/sync.

Same problem happens if I directly record in or import files to cf card.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

My bad have posted my issue in there. Is there any way I can delete this thread?
