If you're new to MPC, you might want to check out the MPC Bible. It is a full tutorial course that teaches you almost all the features of the MPC. And it includes sample files so you can work along with it

And if you are brand new to making music, I recommend this interactive web based tutorial from Ableton

https://learningmusic.ableton.com/

It teaches fundamentals of making music. It is intended for complete beginners. It even teaches a little music theory.

You can do on your phone. And what you learn applies to any software or hardware. Including MPC.

Because it's interactive, you can have a little fun with it.

Make the first project a small one: one phrase sampled from the PT01, four chops and a drum pattern. Save it and reopen it before moving on, so you know you can get back to your work next time.
