Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I just got my MPC-500 which I bought from a friend, and I loaded it with some samples . My problem is when I assign a sample to a Pad it plays it on every pad, just at different volumes. So essentially all the pads play the same sample but at different volumes. Help!

I replied in a new thread by mistake - 'you got 12 levels on'

haha wow, thanks for that. I think I should probably get the guide for the MPC 500 made by this site.

download yaself the quick start guide and the full ref manual for free...

...if you don't have it.

Read ALL of it though, cuz it each mode is dealt with seperately and you need a bit from each mode just to make a simple beat.

I made do without the e-guide, I was a bit slow realising some bits but feel comfortable after working at it for a few weeks.

If you get a spare afternoon go through all the threads - a wealth of info!
