I have a few questions about the 60 that will only take any of you lucky owners a second to asnwer. I currently have a mpc2000(nonXL) which is on the fritz.

I have always wanted to get a mpc60II, and since a used 2000 or a used 60II tend to run about the same price, so I would rather look into switching.

My questions:
What is the highest tempo setting the mpc60 can run at? On the 2000 it is 300bpm. Is it the same on the 60? faster? slower?

Does the mpc60 have the note repeat button for realtime note shutters?
What is the highest quantize setting that the note repeat can use?
On the 2000 it is 1/32triplet.

Thanks.

they are the same in that respect. 300 bpm, 1/32 triplets, and the timing correct button is note repeat while the sequencer is running.

You should get one with the 3.10 OS and SCSi if you can.
