Product Description

TAKE THE MPC PLATINUM STANDARD EVERYWHERE YOU GO. The MPC500 is the first truly portable all-in-one Music Production Center, affording artists the ability to sample and create music on-the-go. Whether you travel around the globe for hit-making sessions or across town to link up for a casual beatmaking hang, the MPC500 is the ultimate answer to your mobile production needs. Fully compatible with the legendary MPC line, you can work anywhere with the MPC500's battery-powered capability and drop them back into your MPC2500 when you get back to the studio. The MPC500 combines a 48-Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32-voice Stereo Digital Sampler, with 12 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads. 16MB of on-board memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM. When connected to a Mac or PC via its built-in USB port, you can simply drag & drop data between the computer and the MPC500's CF card. Compatible with other MPC products, the MPC500 extends users' studios to fit in with their mobile lifestyles.
