MPC500 Operator's Manual rev 1.0

Chapter 1: Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MPC500. The MPC500 is a powerful musical production tool and this manual describes how to use the MPC

to its fullest potential. We know you want to dive in and start making music immediately, but please take the time to read through this

manual so that you can get the most out of your new purchase.

Overview

In this chapter, we’ll go over the basics of the MPC500 including: the name and function of each button, slider, knob, and jack. Next, we’ll

also cover how to hook up your MPC500 to the rest of your studio. Finally, we’ll review the basic MPC-related concepts and terminology

that is found throughout this manual.

Note that in this manual, the names of buttons, knobs, sliders, and input/output plugs are found in brackets, as follows: [name]. Names of

different operating modes are displayed in all capitals, such as: PROGRAM mode. Fields and parameters on the screen will be indicated by

single quotes, such as 'copy sequence'.

 Top Panel

Most of the MPC500’s controls are located on the top of the unit. These controls are as follows:

1. [Main Volume] Knob:

This knob controls the loudness level of the [PHONES] and [OUTPUT] jacks on the rear of the MPC500. Use this knob to control the

volume of your headphones or speakers.

2. [Rec Gain] Knob:

This knob controls the gain level of the [INPUT] jacks on the rear of the MPC. Use this knob to set proper input levels before you

begin recording your own samples.

3. [After] Button:

When this button is engaged during recording, the Q-Link slider overwrites any existing slider data on your track. See "Chapter 8: Q-

Link Slider" on page 57 for more about this.

4. Q-Link Slider:

This slider lets you manipulate your sounds in real-time. The slider can be assigned to control various parameters in SLIDER mode.

For more information, see "Chapter 8: Q-Link Slider" on page 57.

5. Display:

This backlit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) shows you the status of your MPC. The [BACKLIGHT] switch on the rear panel engages

the LCD’s backlight.
