Yo, I don't have an MPC 2000 but i want to get one soon, and its hard to understand some of the stuff i've researched. I understand that you can get sampled sounds from cds, and the only way to load them into the MPC is through a specific cd drive which has a SCSI (scuzzy??) port on it. Is that right?
Because I use an Ibook, and it doenst have a scuzzy port so I would have to buy this special cd rom drive. Is there no fire wire Mpc in the future which could connect to apple computers and external hard drives? This is my foggy understanding of the machine, so please educate me because I am really interested.
Oh yeah and what are the differences in the different kinds of mpc 2000's that Musicians friend offers. One is 1200 and another is 1700 but the descriptions are the same..? Thanks a lot!
