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 or across town, the MPC500 is the ultimate answer
to your mobile production needs. The MPC500 is fully compatible with the
legendary MPC line, which means you can use the MPC500’s built-in battery
and drop your mixes back into your MPC2500 when you get back into 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
and drop data between the computer and the MPC500’s CF card. Because
the MPC500 is compatible with other MPC products, mobile producers and
musicians will find it is the perfect way to extend their studios and accommodate
their mobile lifestyles.
