Finally getting it together to learn this MPC-X and start making music. I play guitar and want to use this thing to make a fusion of hip-hop/rock/r&b/pop type music. I have 3 questions...

1) I just updated to the newest firmware 2.10.1. What bugs do I need to look out for and what are the workarounds? I've seen some people talking about them, but didn't save the specific posts and would like to be prepared for any hiccups that I'll hit along the way of learning.

2) What are the best values for expansion packs? Looking for some big collections that work well with the unit standalone that will allow me to add some content to the unit.

3) Any suggestions for quality YouTube videos that would serve as a masterclass for my unit? I saw SampleKings 3.5 hour video that looks good, but would love to see some of your favorite videos that helped you. And I have the MPC Bible, but it looks a bit overwhelming and I'd like to do a video course to start out and get my feet wet

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to MPC-FORUMS.

Get into the mpc bible, push the buttons your read about and things will become more clear.
No amount of reading can prep for the actual “doing”.
