So just wanted to stop back by and say I am in love with this. I've used Ableton a bit, reason, fruity loops, , sound forge and acid pro some of these were at the infancy stage. I also have owned two electribes, mc-909 novation launchpad and a m-audio keyboard most of these were back around 1999-2003 during college years.
MPC < everything it's just amazingly simple, yes it lacks a lot of shit but for what it is. Amazing I'm having way more fun making house beats on this and am getting better sound where my roland mc-909 couldn't produce low end to save it's life I feel my bass lines with the xl unreal. Everyone says it really was the samplers back then I thought it was hype. Boy was I wrong. I'm shocked I bought the dvd for the roland and put 100 hours and my tracks are way better on the MPC it just makes you
Work in a very primitive way with sounds and it's not the general idea of let's make this sound like I want in my head but what fun I can have with cool sounds I find on the fly. Unreal fun
