do you love music?
yes? then not long.
the mpc has to be one of the easiest pieces I've ever learned. No lie. The manual is a good thing to read thru. it can answer a lot of basic questions.
theres lots of buttons, but once you get used to pressing them you know where they are after a while. it becomes second nature and soon you'll be pressin and punchin and hittin and bangin shi* out wit no problem. one thing thats good to know is the Open Window button. just about everything you can highlight has another window under that. press that button and you get more menus/options.
give it a little time, you'll be fine. trust
oh yea.......1 more thing
