Learning how to use the MPC 500

Hey everyone. I just recently got an mpc 500. I have been making beats for years on fruity loops and logic and the transition to the mpc has been kind of awkward. I was wondering how you guys learned everything about the mpc. Is the manual enough? Or did are there any specific books that you found particularly helpful? Tutorials? etc. Thanks in advance!

definitely check the manual but also this site is very useful http://youtube.com
cheers

Screw the manual this is the holy grail of books for the MPC500.

I second that recommendation. Money well spent from my perspective.

Yeah I've been considering buying that since I got the MPC, just wasn't sure how reliable it was. Thanks guys, I'll definitely check it out.

Do it, do it now!
