I'm assuming you can't find a new mpc 3000 in 2014 (has it been 20 years already?)
so I'm kinda hoping to buy a used one sometime this year. Ah, it'll be like Christmas in 94 when you awoke with a big smile on your face to a Game Boy.
Ahem..
A few things... Your help would make a difference
1) With an mpc 3000 will I be able to
Record and Assign a few different velocity-levels of Kick samples to one pad in mpc...
or would I have to Record and Assign different velocity-levels to multiple pads?
2) Put yourself in my shoes: you already have a MIDI-controller and you're not looking for MIDI-integration from your mpc really. For your needs, it's not the point. You want an mpc 3000 cus you're a fan.
What I want to do: I will want to record certain audio samples from DAW into MPC, sequence a beat within MPC, then record beat from MPC into DAW.
Can this be done via spdif inputs and outputs?
3) If I purchase a used mpc 3000 or the limited edition one, is it stable enough to be trusted after all these years? And will I be able to get it repaired if it crashes?
I've noticed mpcstuff.com where I can get new pads and pad corx if the old pads aren't sensitive enough. Or a new LCD screen in case the old one goes out.
Can you imagine anything else I need to know...?
I'm new to the mpc game so please just let me know what you think.
Your Solutions and Opinions are welcome...though I'm hesistant to rely on answers from people I don't know well because I have a feeling one person could reflexively say: upgrade to a more recent product. But you can all understand...
I'm looking for something vintage for a reason.
Because It's seasoned.
As long as it's decent.
Don't need to be recent...
Nothing against the Ren, Maschine, and other products, I'm sure they're perfect. I just don't need a 2nd MIDI-controller. Hopefully I won't need to explain the deal to you again because I've written that twice in this post already. I'm not looking for another MIDI-controller, I'm looking simply to record audio into mpc, sequence beat, record audio out of mpc.
If I need to switch up my needs, I may, but I'm someone who tries to make things work... many of you may relate to that
Thank you!!!
