question

does any one know whats goin on with my 500, when i go to mute groups no numbers come up just an on and off option. any help would be appreciated cheers

That's how it works man. Select your mute group and turn pads on or off for it. For a faster, better, more clear explanation that you can access in the future, the manualhttp://www.akaipro.com/mpc500is your friend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PON0wqxC ... 2442989286 check this vid out numbers come up so you can mute different samples so your not cutting everything off my mpc doesnt do this?

I think you're talking about Track Mutes. Mute Groups can be found in Program mode, mute group numbers go from 1 - 4. I don't have my 500 with me but when I get home I'll check.

no its not track mute its definitely mute groups. The problem i am having is if i want to use mute groups on a hat and a snare it will cut off the sample thats playing as well cus its a got mute group as well. in that vid i posted the guy is assigning mute groups to different numbers which correspond to which sample you want it to cut off .my 500 doesnt bring them numbers up in mute groups? if that makes any sense to you thanks for all your help

i just watched the vid and if your MPC doesn't have what his shows then there must be something wrong. I unfortunately can't check mine til later. The only thing I can think of is if you have an older version of the OS???

I'll check mine later and let you know

It does have numbered Mute Groups because I used to have the drums and certain samples cut each other off to create change ups.

I would reinstall the 1.31 OS and try again because that sounds like a glitch.

thanks man really appreciate the help,the only thing is i dont know how to reinstall the OS sorry its probably real basic any help would be good i look it up in the manual and see how i go. This site is real good cus i dont even no any body that has an mpc in my area there all computer dudes makin trance and other queer music cheers for the help peace.
