First make sure are all the files of the beat are in the same folder.

1)Connect MPC to computer via USB
2)Drag folder to desired location
3)Disconnect MPC
4)Open Daw
5)Open MPC Beats as plugin.
6)Load in your beat
7)Route the MPC Beats outputs to Daw’s inputs.


how do you load in your beat? I cant find a load a beat option in Beats


Go into the browser screen, locate the folder and load your files

I own a 1000 with JJOS and I bought a pristine 500 recently. I blacked it out and put a red screen and man I freaking love it. Small, light and powerful.

I love that you can open the projects in MPC Beats and export stems or whatever.

Yo, yo, yo... using Koala app alongside your mpc500 is pure love. I mainly use koala on my android phone, and it runs good AF......
