Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Hey,

I synced up my MPC with ableton and it recognizes the mpc. The only problem is that the note's are not correct.
I found this link where this is explained, and I followed the steps:
http://www.akaipro.com/kb/article/1467

But it didn't change anything. Then somebody said, in another topic, that you needed to assign a program to a track. But I don't know what he means by this. I am new to the MPC 500 and know how to create a program and save and load it, but can someone clearify how you should assign a program to a track?

Regards
Toon

The MPC's pads do not run in chromatic order, so you have to create a chromatic program and assign it to the MIDI track that you are using with Live.

I wrote a book that describes all the ways to use live with the 500, it includes a PGM File and instructions that will ensure all the notes run in the correct order (as well as info on how to sync, controlling clips, using live as a sound module, tracking beats and more). Find out more here:
