Download the latest Akai MPC manuals for all MPC models. These are the ‘MPC Technical Manuals’ that ship with every MPC. I have included both Akai MPC manuals and the manuals for third party operating systems, such as the official JJOS manuals from the JJ web site, and Stan Steez’s JJOS1 manual.
An ‘MPC Technical Manual’ will tell you the exact functionality for each button, including a matter-of-fact breakdown of all OS functions, so they make a great technical reference guide. However if you need some help in how to use these buttons creatively to make music then check out the MPC tutorials here on MPC-Tutor.com, which are all adapted from my award winning ‘MPC Bibles & Beat Making on the MPC‘ books.
