Roger Linn on the MPC3000, and a word about Jack.

Ya'll must not have seen the or maybe ya'll are just too sensitive when it comes to you MPC daddy Mr. Linn...

I'll go with the latter...

Damn, I feel like playing frisbee with my MPC Studio now.

Those vids make me feel proud knowing I own some real MPC's. Don't worry Mr. Linn, Numark gets no more cash from me.

Thanks for sharing those vids Clint. I always hated that bastard (Jack). Not only did he **** Roger out of his royalties, he cut so many corners with the build quality of every MPC from the 2000 on. But I'm sure you noticed that a long time ago as well.

JACK YOU'RE A lady's private parts!

People can ensure Roger gets some 'royalties' by purchasing the 3.10 OS, any Linn product which may be useful or even a Tempest. He's got a family to feed like the rest of us a is a living legend in terms of drum machine/sampling technology.

I'm seriously considering selling 2 of my 2Ks to buy a 3K and the 3.10 OS. I honestly feel like a traitor owning a 2K, knowing Roger got no royalties for it. I'd love to buy a Tempest. But I really need to have an MPC as well.

I would imagine Roger got his royalties on all new machines manufactured and/or sold before Jack came along. So that would include all MPC's upto and including the MPC2000 Classic, most beige MPC2000XL's, and possibly even a few white MPC4000's.

I've never had a Numark era MPC. Nothing to do with Jack, they just never appealed to me as something I'd enjoy getting my hands on. And I can't think of a single Numark product that would part me from my money. I'd check out the RhythmWolf thing if it was free tho, lol.

That's good. Now I don't feel as guilty. I've always had some sort of attachment with the 2K since using it when it was first released.

You're lucky you never owned a Numark MPC. The 1K had it's problems, and dealing with Nukai for a warranty repair was a real shitty experience for me. I'm sticking with the classics, especially since I haven't wanted to support Nukai. The Rhythm Wolf is another story. I haven't tried it out yet. If I like it, I'll make an exception. But I'm not in a hurry to go check it out either. lol
