Well the one I have is MPC2000XL with the zip drive and no 8out board :damn: I love the sequencer for drums but when it come to samples loop it's aight I rather chop the samples in the MP and use my Yamaha SU700 for samples. look into the MPC1000,2500 or 5000 it's more computer friendly that the older MP models.


Here is a beat strictly done with 2000XL

:ooh: thats a hell of a deal :salute:

word. I kind of felt bad for the guy cause I think he really needed extra cash and just took the very first offer I threw out but :yeshrug:


Now the damn thing is just sitting in my closet. I haven't even really used it.
