Akai Mpc

[sven hauck]

Anyone use MPCs for writing or live shows? If not, what do you use to write drum parts?

i have a 500 i've never used. i do all my drum parts in cubse.

True, I've done some drum parts in my MPC2500 but am now back to Cubase & Battery at the moment. I use the MPC whenever the desktop isn't accessible.

i have an mpc 2000 xl and i use it for my drums quite often. sometimes i hook all my synths to it. i love the groove of the mpc.
mine has a cf cardreader installed so i can just dump all my wav samples from
my mac into the mpc real easy. there is a software for osx that lets you create programs...great app

what a tease. What's the app?

[admin]

I think the mpc2000 is a good one for this application. I like the MPC-1000 but its a little too clean.

[sven hauck]

Wasn't the S950 a bit gritty so it packed a wallop, despite it's small sampling memory?

[admin]

The 950 was 12bit and pretty gritty, paired a lot with an mpc for hiphop stuff.

Today tho the trend is to be pretty clean, which isn't a bad thing when done right.
