Yeah you're right, there are track mute events there! They just won't play back though.
Nothing in the manual either - think this is due to track mute recording being available on only the latest 2.12 OS, and the manual is 2.0.

I have been doing the same thing (live jams with the pad mutes), but it's getting hard now as my number of tracks is going past the one bank of 16 stage. I could always record the mutes into cubase, but I really wanna see how far I can go without the DAW.

If you can shed some light on the track mute thing, or tell me if this is in the manual somewhere for the 2500, please let me know.

Yep, I have three other hardware samplers, and a drum trigger (HPD15), but the MPCs are built for natural flow, and you're right about the sound - serious bite which mainly comes from that EQ/Comp. I can get the same sound with the other gear, but no where near as quick and fun as this thing.
