Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500
By dri1966 Sat Apr 10, 2010 9:28 am
Hello,

I am really new with this very nice and good product , but to learn to use it , forget about the user guide from AKAI.
In 2 hours of reading the VERY GOOD BOOK from :
http://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/ ... he-mpc500/

And watching some good tutorial on YOUTUBE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx3wH_oZjQM

I can now make it work , BUT ........
Both in the book and on YOUTUBE they speak about :
Load : Program
FIL : DJ-Hip_Set

I have only :
Sunny_Set and Top_set

How can I recover this missing DJ-Hip_Set ?

Thank you for your help and Best Regards,
Didier

their PRESETS....you dont need them to use the 500. their just there for examples. if you've got 1, then your fine anyways.

but if your buying the 500, use it for sampling your own stuff and dont even worry about the presets. im pretty sure no one has ever learned anything from having the presets loaded up.

If you poke around the forums you can find people have posted the default sets once in a while. Maybe one of those links will still work?

Good Luck!

Hmm, crazy. Maybe UK 500s are different.

I bought the 500 when they first came out in 2006 and bought a second one in 2011 and both has that DJ HIP SET preset.
