djdiggla Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I like the battery power but don't like the less pads and herd the work flow kinds sucks. Got someone that will trade me an Apple TV and $100 for his MPC 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHouse Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I had one and loved it. It's super portable, but mainly used it on the couch, which was great. Since it's so light, I could just put it on my lap for hours and hours. Definitely need to add pad sensors/corks though, otherwise the pads aren't too sensitive: http://www.mpcstuff.com/padsensors.html Work flow wasn't that bad, but I also used my computer to expedite chopping and grid layouts. I just used the MPC for wackin' away... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miggydb Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 mpc pads are good but idk 12 pads seems off, Id go with the maschine and the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHouse Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 For sure. Had no probs with 12 pads either, but I had a different finger layout/approach then. Still good with it though. Definitely wouldn't pay/trade any more than $250 ($300 max) worth of ish for it however, and that's a little generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah not a fan of te 12 pads and the work flow really does blow. I'm gonna have to read the manual it looks like. Love the size tho. Paid $80 + the Apple TV which I was selling for $60. Feel like I should be able to at least get my money back out of it if I decide it's not for me.
