Playing Back a Demo Song
The MPC500 has a demo song and a preset program in its internal memory and it loads the data automatically when you switch on the unit
(Autoload function). To play back a demo song, proceed as follows:
1. Connect headphones to the PHONE jack of the MPC500.
For more information about connecting devices, see the “Connecting MPC500 to external device” section of the Operator's Manual
(page 95).
2. Switch on the MPC500.
When you switch on the MPC500, it displays the start-up screen and then starts loading the internal data automatically. After the data
is loaded, it displays the Sequence Main page.
3. Make sure that "01-DJ-Hip_Hop" is selected in the Sq field and press the [PLAY START] button.
Pressing the [PLAY START] button will start playback of the demo song from the beginning. To stop the playback, press the [STOP] button.
When you press the [PLAY] button, the MPC500 will start the playback at the point you stopped last time.
After you finish playing back the "01- DJ-Hip_Hop" sequence, try to play back another song. You can select a song by turning the [DATA]
wheel in the 'Sq' field.
Playing a Preset Program
Next, let’s try to play the preset program using the pads. You can play the program that is selected in the 'Program assign' field of the Track Main
page by hitting the pad.
4. Select any of the (unused) sequences in the Sq field.
5. Press the [TRACK] button.
This will select the Track Main page.
6. Press the [PARAMS] button to enter the Track Params.
7. Scroll the top parameter field with the [DATA] wheel to select 'Program assign'.
8. In the Program select field, select the program that you wish to play.
You can select any program in memory by turning the [DATA] wheel in the Program assign field.
9. Hit the pad. The MPC500 will play the preset program.
You can play up to 48 pads by switching between pad bank A through D, but the samples may not be assigned to all the pads.
