First of all, thanks for this forum, I couldn't think of a better place to seek help! I am thinking of buying an MPC, either 1000 or 2000. I've been using software since Noteworthy Composer through modern day fast trackers. Gear experience includes analog synths like Moogs, Korgs, and simple drum machines, XR20, TR707. I haven't delved into the world of hardware sampling yet, so figuring out where to start without a manual or machine is pretty mind boggling. The sounds in my head need to meld together and escape.
I guess my main question is, what is sampling and sequencing like? What can I sample from? Other hardware? Mics? (I've got acoustic instruments and vocal weirdness that I would like to use in tracks with a condenser mic or what are the suggestions for this issue?)
I know the record input for vinyl sampling would be cool, aside from waning to make my own samples. How can I do this? Can I do this?
Is it 16 step pattern building and then layering patterns?
I haven't even begun to figure it out ahead of time. Please help get me on the right track towards my purchase!
Thanks much
