Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I've been playing around with the Bank, Sub-Bank, and Program menus from Abletons Live trying to see which ones the 500 responds to, any one here has had any response back from the MPC? (apart from Pads sounding)

if you set a program change number in a program on the mpc you can select programs via midi program change. you could use this for muting tracks if you werea bit clever.

I'm gonna try it later, makes sense.

I've been playing around with CC messages, any luck with those?

So no one had any response from the MPC500 receiving CC Messages? Changing the tempo or changing sequences, opening up the reverb, pitching up or down?

If I'm not mistaken the manual says the 500 receives CC messages, just doesn't state which ones.

I tried multiple CC combinations in Ableton with no response.
