hey guys.... whenever i do both hands fingerdrumming on mpc500, sometimes i accidentally hit button like MODE or change a pad bank.... it happens a lot... so im just wondering if mpc500 has some combination of buttons or whatever what locks all buttons except pads and slider for live play. ....if not ill probably make some plastic cover or something... :roll:

There isn't this feature overtly but there are some 'hidden features' or glitches but I still don't think that would be possible.

ILL-GREEN: dude... choose any drummachine samples you want, make 1 minute video of what you can do with your clumsy fingers, put it here + name of drummachine (808, 909 or whatever) and let me show you, that i can do better :wink: in friendly way of course, i just want to prove that my fingers really are not clumsy... we can do serious in europe too, youll see :nod:

samples of just one drummachine to make it easy and same sounds + no sequencing + only a real deal fingerdrumming ...

so.... ... im not in dirty conversations, its getting me bored... so react with your instrument or quit it and leave like a looser... at first i wanted just an advice, because im new with MPCs... it should be one of the reasons why this entire forum was founded i think... than you came with your "hardguy" talking and i dont like it, so... now only thing i want, is to see you skilled enough... i can respect your previous comments only if youre good enough... but if you dont, that probably means that you only was making you bigger than you really do and then you should rather keep your mouth shut, whenever you dont want to help someone who wants just an answer for question. ...I would love to embarass you like little kid...

Keep posting man. We're just messing around and not trying to make you feel bad. If you're not made fun of at some point around here you're probably not doing it right. :lol:

ok then. you know, when i translated ills comment it sounded pretty serious to me... but i was wrong i see.... sometimes it could be a bit difficult to recognize that thin difference between poke for fun and serious fckoff when you have your english only learned from books)) my sorry to everyone for being that angry b*tch)) ....and thanks for responses on topic, now it doesnt happen anymore... im taking care for keep my unused fingers in the air and its good now.... i had mpc for first couple of days, after i changed it with padcontrol and its obvious that different machine needs a bit different technique... i was getting mad because i needed everything to be ok because tommorow i have a concert with new hw, and i dont want to mess it up.
