Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I use Intel Korean Mac with OSX 10.4.
But this program would not work on my Asian MAC!
It would start the program but would not open a new blank pad window when I hit Apple + N.
It seems like it will open a program as it opens a browser, but what I need is a new blank window to create programs with samples!

I can go to my school's library to use American Mac but I will need this program when I go back to Korea!

Anybody had same problem? International Mac users? How to fix problems?

What do you mean by Korean Mac? Haven't heard that they have such a model in their product range ;)

Well, now serious talk. Your problem is not with application, but with a keyboard layout. You have to set up an English keyboard layout in order to use key commands properly. So, to do that, go to:

System Preferences -> International -> Language tab and choose English (drag it up for it to be below Korean)

Now go to Input Menu tab and tick English in the list (it could be British or American, doesn't really matter). There you can also select a key shortcut for quick switching between languages (like Command + Space, for instance).

This done, you can easily switch between Input methods (Korean and English) and use Korean for your documents and English for MPC127 app.

Good luck!

PS: And take a look at Mac Help, it makes life easier :)

It was a joke :) No offence, man.

Have you tried to set up English language in International panel of System preferences as I suggested?

Do menus of this MPC pad 187 program display in English or Korean when you launch it? Mine automatically loads an empty pad set when I start it.
