The MPC 500 is a sampler, meaning that it can record sounds via the inputs in the back. You just hook up something like an iPod or whatever, computer line-out, turntable and the likes, and go into record mode via Mode Button -> Pad 5. Also, you can load sounds onto a compact flash card via USB, or use a program like MPC Maid to create a program, then upload it onto the MPC with the USB cord from computer in the back of the MPC. If using MPC Maid, you can go to export all in the file menu after you created the program, and load it straight onto the MPC. Next, you're gonna hit Mode -> Pad 2 and scroll to where you placed the program, and load it.

Another question like that and you'll be prone to an ass-raping cyber style, you'll be known as mayonaissed buns.

Lulz. The best part about this site is the users because they aren't a bunch of sensitive assfags who believe in messageboard politics and aren't afraid to call dumb people out on their shit, unlike some uptight forums I frequent.
