Hi everybody !
Here is my story : I gave up music for 7 years (work, baby ...) because I had no more time for it. I built a new set up with some hardware (beatstep pro, shruthi, circuit, LXR, kaoss pad) and a laptop for some VSTi (just one or two). I met lot of issues with the laptop because it's not dedicated one to music. Moreover, the beatstep pro is a very cool piece of gear but it can't record control change and program change automations so you have to be an octopus to do sophisticated stuff
Now, I want to change of sequencer and I'm looking for a mpc 1000 (JJOS2XL) or an mpc touch (second hand). I don't have the money for a live ...
My need is a solid midi sequencer/drum machine. The sampler functions aren't my priority.
I live in Seychelles and I'm worried about repairs of the mpc 1000. It's an old gear, easily fixable but here, there is nothing to repair electronic stuff and it will be so long to order to mpc stuff !
So, there is the "new" mpc touch but it's a just controller and I'm a bit scared by the software bugs/instability side. I just want to play music when I have the time and not geeking.
I will take all advice and I thank you for your help.
