Hey all,
Total MPC noob here, about to purchase a unit and i have a few questions. (I'm planning to play the MPC as a sound source for a Roland HPD15 which is my favorite pad to play)
1. It's a black model and the pads seem to be the new version (they wiggled together when i moved them) but one pad doesn't go over the half mark velocity. How much of a price leverage do I have here? Is it worth it at all to get the unit?
2. Perhaps a silly question but just to be on the safe side - is there a problem with playing the pads through an exterior pad controller?
3. Following on question #2 - when I use the pads for their programming options, will a midi controller work just as well? that will solve the problem with the malfunctioning pad...
4. Is layering sounds possible with the basic OS or the free JJ? if so - how many can be layered?
Thanks!
