This link has all the necessary information:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=97274

Take note, this is written for an MPC4000...but should translate to any MPC fairly easily.
I'm not clear on what exactly you are trying to accomplish, because that page you posted has at least 12 different videos on it. You could have just as easily sent a link to the exact video you want.

Georgie, a couple words of advice:
1) The words you choose for your topic subjects are worthless. 'Can someone tell me', 'does this work'....things like that say nothing to somebody browsing the forum. Many of the most helpful people around here avoid those subjects because it's obvious the person writing them is too lazy to come up with a proper subject. For example...a good idea for this topic might have been 'Using MPC like an MPD'.
2) Please try using a period (.) every now and then. This...
this is what im basically trying to accomplish or is simple turns learn how to do or what i might need to do this lol if anyone could help thanks

...doesn't even make any sense. "...or is simple turns learn how to or what i might need to do this lol..."? Translation please?

I'm not trying to be the internet or grammar police here, but you catch a lot of flack on here, and it seems to me like you beg for more. If you're doing it on purpose, consider me trolled, but if you're seriously trying to get help, please have a little respect for the people trying to help you.

Forum etiquette aside, check that link I sent and you can use your mpc to control logic.
Good luck, hombre.

i can assure you that you are not being trolled

I'm not very assured.
i didnt think it was that big of a deal haha its only a forum sight

yea, it's 'only a forum site' with 'only real live people' in it. When we can't even understand what you are asking, how are we supposed to help you?
this site is not a personal mpc answer generator. there's a great site called google that IS your personal answer generator and you can be as ignorant and rude as you want, and it will continue to give you good information. however, THIS site is populated with real people that spend real effort trying to decipher shit like "...or is simple turns learn how to or what i might need to do this lol...".

the first video it should be some kid with red glasses

it's not, so i still am not sure what you are talking about.
try a link to exactly what you are talking about.
thats what im trying to do with my mpc and i wanna know what im going to need to do that with my mpc hahah

the link i provided in the first post shows you how to use your mpc like an mpd, but better. did you even look at it?

again, I'm not trying to hate on you, but I gave you the link you need, you ignored the link, and asked the same question in the same confusing way, again. That's pretty obnoxious and I don't think I can help. Good luck man. :\
