MPC-2500 Drivers and Software Help...

Hi my name is Joe D I am new to this forum and figured id ask you guys since u guys are the pros.....I just bought a mpc-2500 from a friend of mine.. but he didnt have the Cds or Software that came with it.. like the Drivers and software or something that comes with it to link it up i guess to my PC... i have a M-Audio Audiophile. and MIDI Keyboard as well. So i hooked it up but i cant get it installed or whatever... Is there anyone who can help me with this i would greatly appreciate it .


Thanks again

Joe D

Did your friend give you the manual?

hahhha.. it wasnt the owners operation manual. just the MPC. No wires no thing.. I know i probably sound like an idiot or whatever.. But like its soo frustrating. Ive been searching all over. Maybe i am an idiot that i cant hook it up and its simple i am sure

Another thing I would most def recommend getting the JJOS. Dont even hesitate about getting that operating system whether you get the free one or the ones you pay for.

Her is the link for all the information on the JJOS's. Take a look into this. Do your research.

Did your friend give you a CF card with some sounds? Lets just hope he did.

For now atleast downloard the free JJOS. Im serious... Your wasting time with your Akai OS. Dont bother with it.

Come on dude... Send him the right route. Lets get him hooked up with the JJOS. I still cant believe theres a couple of you dudes that still wander blind with the Akai OS.

I hope you also have the JJOS.

Just trying to help the fam here.

Even If you dont have the CF You can do a factory reset to get the sounds that came preinstalled...
I bought mine without all those things too and found out that akai OS was awful compared to jjos..

Honestly it doesnt even have the Mem Card... I was doing something on it and all of a sudden my computer recognized it... i dont know if it installed the drivers or not.. But its plugged in USB.. and I have 1/4 to RCA(M-Audio Soundcard Audiophile) and i dont know if theres any sounds on it.. Or if i can at least get some to store on the internal memory for now until i go get a mem card tomorrow or the next day


* i tried to research and have the manuals and all. but i couldnt really find what i need i dont think maybe i just dont understand...

I usually just stick to Logic and stuff but i decided lets see what this thing could do

The guy posted the manual for you.


And there are no DRIVERS!!! No SOFTWARE that comes with the 2500.

Damn dude...it's not a printer, you don't need any software, drivers, and no JJOS or whatever either. Switch it on, grab the manual and just use it.

hahahahah i know its not a printer bro. maybe i am buggin out .. I dont really know how these things. work bro.. Thats why i am asking .. But bottom line. Im not getting any sound coming out.. I looked at the manual .. But like still.. i told u what hardware i am using.. M-Audio Audiophie and i have speakers into soundcard and now mpc from stereo out 1/4 inch cable to RCA into Soundcard.Line input .. No Sound.

Yea, what do you expect? Maybe plug your MPC to the friggin speakers?

You do not need to have your MPC hooked up to your PC to make it work...

Its a standalone machine. The only reason why you would hook it up your your PC would be to either transfer sounds from your PC to your CF card/ HDD.

Or

To track out your song to your DAW.

I personally dont use my MPC with my PC unless Im tracking out to Cubase. Other than that you really need to read the manual. Get a CF card or HDD to store wav formatted sounds. But if I was you Id just buy a HDD and not worry about a CF card.
