Tutorial of the MPC500
The MPC500 consists of the sampler section, where you record and playback sounds, the
sequencer section, where you record your performances, and the pads, which you use to play the
sounds.
You record your performances to the sequencer and play the sounds of the sampler by the
recorded sequences.
The performance data (MIDI data) is sent from the pads to the sequencer and from sequencer to
the sampler, which plays the actual sound from the performance data.
