Hope this doesn't reveal naivete on my part, but is there any hope of a MPC500 tutorial in the near future??

After much deliberation, I finally decided to purchase the 500 (which I should get tomorrow, yay!). However, being a complete newbie to the world of MPCs, I'm sure there will be quite a learning curve. I'm hoping the manual will at least get me started, but if there was an actual tutorial, similar to the ones for the 1000 & 2500, I'm sure that would be a great help.

If there is no 500-specific tutorial to come, would I be wasting $40 if I bought the 1000 tutorial and tried to apply its basic steps to beat making??

Okay, thx, bye!

I don't think anybody really needs a tutorial.......the amount of time you spend on the mp is what you'll get out of it, tutorial or not

It may be worth it for Tutor to wait until a new OS drops, seeing they may add features that would/could change the workflow of the 500( hey, a guy can hope can't he ) :P :D

I'm surprised at how much I've learned just from reading the manual and playing around. Tomorrow I plan on locking myself in my room, cutting off the phone, forsaking the internet and immerse myself in a haze of pure MPC-ness! :P :lol:
