hi, everyone just got a mpc 5000 1 question

hi, everyone i just got a MPC 5000 version 1 from daddy's junk music. and, i would like to ask those of you who have got one new what do you get include with the MPC?

i ask becaause i though you get a CF card with 32MB full with samples, is this trust cause i did no get one?

i am also a little freak out because on power up this thing gave me to different errors?

i mainly got this MPC for sequencing external gears and to sample. i am coming from a computer sequencer and, i want to stay away from the computer.

what do you guys think of this machine? should i keep it? or is this a good machine?

and, i will like to get this clear those the MPC5000 come with a CF card include or not?.

thanks everyone for your help, and happy new year.

It comes with an internal hard drive that has samples from loopmasters. It does not come with a CF card like the old MPC's. Although it has a CF card reader.

The 5000 is really buggy right now. I use it for sampling and two control other gear. It does some odd things, check the bug section on the forum.

I think its got a lot of potential when they fix the problems... but I miss my 2000XL. I was thinking about grabbing one of ebay until they sort the 5000 out. Or maybe a 1000 with the JJOS. Everyone seems to feel that is very stable.

If you can return it, I would return it. Unfortunately I'm stuck with mine. Anyone want to trade their MPC for my mint condition 5000? LOL. I would take a 60, why not.

It should not boot up with errors. What are the errors?

How do you update the 5k without a CF card? Just asking cause I'm ordering mine on monday.

update to the 2.0 and your will be fine.. there is no way to update with out the Flash card there only 10 bucks or so

Am I losing my mind or did playalong say he wants to trade his 5000 for any mpc? I have a black mpc1000 with jjos2xl...... Whattup

A 5000 would eat the 1000 for breakfast.
