My favourite tip for an mpc (I've confirmed it works with 500, 1000 and 2500 models).
Playing a sample and having it loop without having to set it up in a sequencer...
For 500
"It doesn't say in the manual, but after you trimmed your sample, set the Loop on. Then hold down the pad that has the sample and hold down the shift key. Your sample will loop endlessly without hands touching the 500."
- another explanation of the same thing-
Oh yeah, You can do this. Just set the sample to "loop" in trim mode. Then assign it to a pad whichin you change it from "one shot" to "note on". Now press and hold the pad, then hold down shift. Release the pad (while still holding the shift button). Hold the shift button until the sample has played fully out and starts over, now you can release the shift button and the loop should play on it self, without the sequencer started. You can do this to 32/16 pads at once (depending on mono/stereo sample).
works on 1000 too - its pretty much the same thing - but here is the thread in case you need it (took me a while to get it to work).

works on 2500 too !
sample: note on and loop on
mode: main
push the pad and trackmute button simultaneously
With thanks to all who helped me out with this - especially Angel !
