How are they screwed replies?
Just a lot of hand holding going on around here, like that's being helpful.
Unlike many pieces of gear ANY MPC is easy to manage if you just go through the manual.
If a person takes 7 days, the MPC and the manual they should be up and running.
If they take 7 days, the MPC and the manual and can't get a decent start then eBay should be the next move they make.

One more thing, if the original poster was really looking for help why would they not by the MPC Tutorial that the sponser of this site sells?
You know the ones that pop up every time you visdit this site.

You should:
Take your mpc to a local underfunded public school, drop it off, then go get into some sort of unfortunate accident.

Dispite some of the answers given in this post the Mpc-forum is a great place to learn and share info. Your question is extremely vague though just like mnh2410 said. What exactly are you needing to know? Anyway........congratulations on your 2500 hope you learn to use it.

Tip- take a little time and read the manual it will help a whole lot. :D

It took me about a week to get my head around an old 2000. I bought it when it first came out. Be patient, use the manual, and post more specific questions on this thread so you don't clutter the forum.

also go to the beginner's sticky, on how to create sequence's, load samples,save programs etc. you'll be alright.

maybe the first question the tread starter should answer is this one:
does he know what a mpc is and needs help to operate the unit, or is he a really clueless person who wants to know what this fancy machine with pads that don“t make any sound, is good for in the first place? 8)
