Yezsirr! Making some music right now on it! Thanks for the heads up! Will Report Back!

Is the owner's name new? i never noticed it before
"Oh Happy Days"

Good news!

congratulations!
good job, akai - thanks for giving me reason to say this!

oh ****.. hipass filter! i've been waiting for this

Last night I updated my 500... And with the new update/ good news it gave me super powers. lol

I made my best beat to date!!!

just to SEE the Filter page state 'Type..' is amazing and a solid Win.

i was so hoping the having-to-physically-unplug-the-USB-cable-to-dismount issue would be fixed in the update

still: Bravo for this Akai !

It is, and it's not in the update release note Just a nice surprise, obviously, cause it's not functional or anything.

I think my mpc 500 froze, because i follwoed the update instruction to the Letter, and when you get to the part at the end where you wait 30 seconds then turn it back on while holding the erase button...

Well mine is just stuck, and on the screen it says "MPC500 Startup"

can anybody help me

thanks in advance
