Oh ok........I think the 500 and the 2500 make a good combo.......that's just me though. Best to you with whatever you decide to get.

Did you spend money on a 500? If so, it's your own fault you knew what you were going to buy, you could have read up on it b4 spending the money. If not, wtf are you whining about it being a rip off, does it keep you awake at night that there are people who have bought it and that they will be unhappy about their purchase? Judging by all the questions you posted so far about your 2500 it doesn't seem like you are the expert to judge the quality of any mpc. Now quit bitching and go learn that mpc of yours and don't worry about what other people buy. Make some nice beats instead.

something of the sorts is coming. as of exactly when.... i can't say.

I just bought an mpc500....i thought it was kinda expensive and stuff, but after I actually went and played with it an used it and saw it...damn that shit is amazing...i think if you havent seen it in person, you should. in the pictures, it looks like its of equal or maybe alittle smaller than the mpc1000. this is not the case at all. it is waaaaay smaller an a hell of a lot lighter. its the perfect machine for portable music making, doesnt even have to be on a bus or on a subway..just going over to your girls house and waiting for her ass to get ready or someshit like that.....i sold a black mpc1000 with 80gb harddrive and maxed ram..and still paid an extra $100 to get this thing..it was worth every penny of it...but I usually do sample editing and stuff like that on my computer aanyways then drag it over to the mpc....12 pads is plenty..wtf do you guys do play beats with your feet???...im sure most of you only use 4 pads 6 tops every time you overdub.....does everyone think this thing is a rip off because it doesnt have 16 pads and doesnt have a few of the functions??? the size and portability is where all the value is...besides the limitations help to evoke creativity.............anyway this is mostly for the person that wants to buy one but isnt sure...if you want portability and havent seen the mpc500 in person...go see it and im sure youll buy it....

Being small does NOT make something portable, If you have to plug something in to use it, then it is not portable. How portable would an IPOD be if you HAD to have it pluged in to use it??? I dont give a damn how tiny apple made it... it would not be considered portable.

In reality my 4000 is just as portable as the 1000,... so what its bigger, you still have to plug both of them in. I've taken my 4000 over to friends houses in a "rok sak" padded bag to sample sample off their keyboards.

the 500 is what everyone was hoping the 1000 would be when all the rumors where flying around before it came out in 03', its truely portable.

And what the hell is a color screen gonna do to help you make better beats? What they should do for the 5000 is design a more elegant way to edit samples that is more like sample editing in software programs like sound forge or recycle, as it seems most people use these programs anyway and then transfer the samples back to their MPC. Update the sequencer also to allow both linear and pattern based sequencing at the same time, My k2600 does this and it was made back in like 1999, such a powerfull feature.

He said a few things he shouldn't have said and he's a little arrogant, but I wouldn't called him a dummy after all he bought a 500
I think he may be referring to the selling of his 1000 I'm not sure though.

DUMMY

Why is he a dummy?

I was thinking the exact same thing !

I think that's great to see someone who doubted it's ability and worth to actually go and see one, play with it and then realise it's a very worthwhile bit of kit.

Good on you, bitoven, and wishing you many hours of fun on your 500

i like it when british dudes call stuff like this "bit of kit". Where exactly does it come from? Because in the U.S. calling something a kit is usually reserved for an ensamble of things put together to form a unit and not for a sigular thing like a drum machine or keyboard.

or am i thinking too hard and should just accept that its just an expression?
