Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I accidentally deleted a file that came on the original MPC 500 Sound Library. It was the Amb (ambient) Drum Kit file. Can anyone get this to me somehow so I can replace it on the Compact Flash Drive? Thanks for any help, I'm new here.

I think the MPC could use an undo function.
I've tripped over my own feet a few times, this machine does so much it can be easy to get confused for a sec.
It would take up a smidge of memory and should be able to be turned on or off in settings like system restore in windows.

As far as your specific problem, just get a new sound dude. Its a sampler.

Yeah, I've done that a few times. :)

Well they do already have the button for it.
All they would have to do is expand its capability to optionally include a portion of the ram as a temp folder.
In addition to enabling/disabling a wav undo/redo function they could also let the user set the size of the temp folder in the options. 10 secs, 1 minute, whatever.
Or even better, implement a management system that changes the size of the temp folder automatically to use as much of the memory that is still available that isn't already being used as part of the project.

Sometimes I like to trust in fate.
Maybe I just missed that rare groove record at the store by an hour. Or maybe I totally got stoned and laid the roach on that album by accident.
These are the intangible moments, sometimes obvious and sometimes obscure, that force us into a direction that may as well be intended by our destiny.

In other words, maybe it happened for a reason.
Try a new sound.
