From the rear photo it looks as though it may have but it is a little washed out.


Yes. USB on the back, but the flash kinda made it hard to see in the pics i took.

You would make everyone`s life easier if you could just post up the pdf.files of the manual of the MPC 500.

Anyways nothing is wrong with picking up an 500 if you got the cash like that.

But still if you are good with your tools it means nothing to ya anyways.

Good looking posting a pics CPU you get much respect!!!!

Does the screen tilt? Can you take a pic of what the screen looks like when its on? also how do the features compare to the 2500 / 1000 e.g track/note count fx etc?? :shock:

You got me there...I am a sucker for new gear...especially battery powered crap. Price is too much though...I have never disputed that.

$799 is probably MAP though. Retail will likely be 550-600

Still to much I think, unless you really travel alot. It would be awesome to make beats on a train or plane though.
