Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500
By DeepfriedSOUL Wed May 21, 2008 6:27 am
I got the MPC 500 and am pretty excited. I went though the preset stuff only (sunny set, hiphop, cd2,)
but I was wondering if there are more in the MPC 500 itself. I also got that 128mb bonus memory card, but I don't know how to load from there.

from hiphoptools.com, as a pacakge I got a CD with buncha samples(drums, brass, other) as a bonus.
Do I upload them in the memorycard by connecting MPC to computer with USB?

I just want a variety of samples so I can come up with a lot of different stuff.

Use your computer to transfer the samples from the CD (or any other samples) to the CF card.

1. Connect a USB cable
2. Put the MPC in USB mode
3. The CF card should show up on your computer

You can also take the CF card from the MPC and put it your computers cardreader, if you have one.

I suggest reading the manual about loading samples and assigning samples to pads.

Have fun,
