message to akai pro

I sent a email to tech support at akai pro to hit me up with a list of
shortcut keys on the mpc 500.
i bought the download version of beatmaking on the mpc500 and it
was really helpful but the akai manual doesnt tell you how to name files with the pads as a shortcut. I am sure there are more shortcuts but no list for them?
well i informed akai pro about it, just thought maybe one of u guys got any tips?

Akai told me the closet thing is the parameter map.
Thats all good, nice one akai.

What do you mean?

On the Akai pro site you could download a parameter map. It's a map that had all the screens and functions mapped out. But they've changed the Akai site, so I don't know if you can still download it. Check out the support at akaipro.com

No I mean what do you mean about shortcut keys...?

when you name a file instead of using the data dial
you can punch in the name using the pads
also when trimming a sample you can push the numeric
button and enter the trim point with the pads.
I would think these two ways are quicker than using the dial,
and i am sure there must be more ways to navigate the
pages quicker.

All that is in the bl00dy manual!!! Jeez, you guys!

hows about pressing

shift + the left cursor to set the increments ex. 10 100 1000 10000


perhaps they'd be able to figure in chopping with the note variation slider, that'd be awesome
