And how would you implement a mixer on a 2 line character only LCD display ?

Yes, really need a mixer. There must be a way to implement it. It should be able to control volume, pan, and effect send levels, for both drum and midi tracks. Please Akai, we really really need this. Thanks a lot.

If you really need these features, you should consider buying an MPC1000. If Akai built in everything that people "needed" on the 500, you'd have a 2500 with the associated price tag.

i need a track volume!!!!!!

yhea , all we need is a track volume
not a complex mixer , just a way to change volume track by track

and not sample by sample

I don't think you'll ever see a mixer in the 500 for the simple fact that the 1000 has a mixer. For those that feel limited using the 500 should maybe think of upgrading. :D

Volume and pan for each track is as basic as it gets. It's by no means a luxury.
