Nice video concept!👍

Very inspiring yo. This making me want to get on my 500 😅

Great video Phil in Da Blank. Your videos on the 500 have always been inspiring. I hope you continue to do more. I love my MPC500 but unfortunately it's been getting more faulty and now it's not usable anymore. I've had it since it was released in 2006. If I see another one come up in the secondhand stores when I have the money spare I will definitely get one because I'm used to the old school workflow and I love it. The limitations don't matter to me. Using Reason or Maschine might be faster but it is more satisfying for me to use the 500 and get a sound that works when matched with old school classic productions.

Mpc 1000 was horrible and my first mpc and i hated it and left Akai until i brought the mpc 27 key and one ÷ last year😊

Hey you grew a beard

Aww yeah. This little machine helped me get away from the visual side of beat making.

Happy new year! I’m rocking my mpc 500 still today

Had one. Made it custom and I loved it. Red screen, black everything. But I also have a 1000 with usbc power which runs on batteries so that one has JJOS and it still rules in 2025.

Happy new year. I have to use my 500 more often.

MPC500 is having a glowup in 2025

This is a great video. I like how well you covered the features of the 500. And express what you found as limitations and how you worked around it. Being an older producer myself, I’ve been working for years and that is literally how we function in the late 90s early 2000 you worked around the limitation. I considered purchasing one of these myself, but then opted to buy the 1000 to add a battery mod kit to it, giving me six hours of time with it. I covered it on my channel. And I have to say since coming out of the box and back into some of the older machines. I’ve really enjoyed the creative process again.

Minimalism always inspires the best musical ideas. Great video 🎉

Just bought one and I don’t know how to use it it’s my first mpc and I’m beginner can u do a tutorial video of all you have to know for use it

Answer. Yes ;p Happy new Year all.

Sweet video. Always been interested in what the 500 can do

So convoluted to use, need a computer, need to reference on line pdf text to see a list of scale.... ugh .. and the keys are round buttons....

You think we can link 2 Nanos to the Seqtrak to have 4 octaves?

For me is the novation launchkey mini with seqtrak!

That's a solid MIDI keyboard all round.

No choke groups? That’s a deal breaker. That’s why I didn’t like the Electribe Sampler

Seek-trak like sequence.

I wanted to like the SeqTrak but the sketchy build quality, lack of an onboard screen, tiny buttons, too many dual button presses, dependencies on a tablet or computer, and Yamaha’s way of limiting functionality just kills the product. It was a great idea ruined by poor execution. It seems to be a commercial failure.

Nice Tutorial. You're 500 looks clean af!

Damn. I've always wanted a mininova. That synth with the 500 is perfect for Lo-Fi. These pad-sounds are just dope. Do you know "cruel the buddhist"? He always uses that synth for live looping. Just awesome wich sounds he is getting out of it.

I like that you prep samples in a DAW. Makes life so much easier sometimes!

DOPE1

Thnaks for the video! Love my Seqtrak. Have you tried all the free packs that come with this? I've only tried a few but I think it's great Yamaha gives them all for free

Bad audio- :(

song @ 1:52 ?

I preferred OP-Z

Dr Phil is in da house! Today's episode: Desperately Seqing Tracks.

why i dont have auto norm，Jesus🥲

Wohh this thing looks sick! I kinda want one just to mess around with it but I can probably do more on the MPC Live.

man thanks! i didn't know this was a thing

existe ese editor para PC?

just got one of these, gonna hook it up to my rack system and sample literally whatever. (cassettes, vinyl, radio, cds of course) awesome vid!

I have a digital drum kit and wondering if I could use my drum kit to trigger the sounds from my drum machine to get additional sounds.

My man you are an absolute life saver! I bought the SR-16 and couldn't figure out why midi wasnt working through ableton. turns out you just had to enable it within the drum machine. Thanks!

Not my cup of tea but I really liked the track!

Does anyone know how to initialize a performance on the CS2x (without using the software)?

3:10 that is because only the mpc live II can use "non-destructive chopping" I believe but not the mpc 500. It´s so funny you show something here which only few people will be interested in and do, well I am one of them. Thanks for all the explaining!

You are like your mixer a real nice DUDE ☮

👍

Thanks mate, this is exactly what I was looking for

Hi all, I am newbie and just got this model (used without SDRam DIMM), then I installed the SDRam 128Mb PC133 but the messages display on screen that ''Wrong type of DIMM, turn off and try correct one''. Any of You have experience about this trouble let me know please. Thank you.

Man that Beat is Slammin'. Thanks for sharing the process.

Can it trigger midi sound modules I already have? can you write in dynamics? quiet soft parts, played harder, will it get louder, or do you have to edit that in? thank you.

You need to learn how to make beats bruh, how you got the alesis & akai 500 & cant make fire🔥beats,

Did you find that the roland CDX-1 was good for making actual songs on? I'm aware it's not the world's best machine but I have one and I'm considering if I could make some electronic tracks on the thing.
