Assigning midi notes to the mpc 500’s pads...help!

MPC500 manual pg. 61 wrote:„ Assigning MIDI Note Numbers to the Pads
Normally, when you hit a pad, the MPC500 will output the MIDI note data assigned to the pad in the program. However, when the selected
track does not have any program assigned, hitting a pad sends out the default MIDI note number, instead of the number set in the program.
When you create a new program, this setting will be used as the default setting. You can change this default pad setting in the MIDI/SYNC
mode, which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] button and then the [PAD 7] (MIDI/SYNC).
1. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE] button and hitting the [PAD 7] (MIDI/SYNC).
2. Scroll with the [DATA] wheel to select Default assign. The screen will look like the following.
3. Press the pad you would like to change. You can use the [DATA] wheel to change the note assigned to each pad.
4. To reset the note assignments back to the default settings, do the following:
5. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE] button and hitting the [PAD 7] (MIDI/SYNC).
6. Scroll with the [DATA] wheel to select Assign reset. The screen will look like the following.
7. Press the [DO IT] button to reset note assignments back to the default settings.
