I've been using the MPC500 for sampling for about 7 years and I love the little guy, but I just started finally trying to get into the MIDI features in it. I know its not the best MPC to use for MIDI.
My question is, is it possible to assign MIDI CC or MIDI PC notes to a pad? I have some external hardware that I'd like to be able to change parameters on live, and using the pads would be so great. I don't want to have to press play at all/use the MPC as a sequencer, I'd purely like to use it as a controller via the pads, if you catch my drift. I've been going through the tiny sections of the manual on CC and PC and its confusing, it seems like I can only set these notes within steps in a sequence.
So if I can't on the MPC500, can any of the other MPCs do it?
This would be a huge help for my live sets!
