Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

Hello good people of the MPC Forums! :-D

Can somebody please upload the v1.13 OS for MPC500?

I have a glitchy unit (overdub recording loses notes, tempo varies, MPC freezes), and OS 1.13 is said to fix it. Unfortunately all links to 1.13 (on this forum and all websites crawled by Google and the Wayback Machine) have expired or really contain the 1.31 version. I tried removing the RAM, reinstalling OS, initializing...

Many thanks, and may the clock be with you!

You need to reinstall the OS 1.31 with it plugged in than with batteries. With the unit fully powered, it can update more accurately.

I had two MPC500s at one time. One with 1.13 and the other with 1.31. 1.13 freezes as well but on rare occasions, just like 1.31. But at least with 1.31, I knew the glitches and bugs well and avoided them. Never had it freezed when I had that knowledge. Also, you get chock loads of features with 1.31 like HPF and LPF and direct recording, its dope.

However, I'm glad I got rid of that shit. Was a breath of fresh air when I ventured to other samplers and got good treatment.
