i was saving money for quite a long time but actually could not save enough because there was some other shit to pay for.
and what happened? i found a broken one for almost no money and it actually worked so i got a 2000 i was happy as hell, im still happy with it. i love the machine so much...

so you are the one who got that one with the blue mark on it for $107

I have a Xl but I also want a OG.. Am I a gear slut or what? I gave a lesson to a guy with a mint 2000 OG Studio plus who was not interested in the least.. I can't find his number and I bet he want's to sell it.. I could kick myself...

nooo, i got mine off allegro.pl , not ebay.. , i`m from Poland
the guy that was selling the mpc thought it was broken - the floppy drive didnt work and the problem was not the floppy itself but the power supply cord going from the mainbord, so i took an external AT power supply and connected it to the floppy and it worked, os loaded, samples loaded, and now i`m happy as hell

That's what I'm rockin' but I got a new sensor sheet and new LCD to keep it minty, I love the lowpass on it even when Kanye is making money off its sound.

yup thats 100% true, alot of times dudes with alot of gear get badder results in the beat making cause they seem to learn the machines but dont really learn to make em beats cause theyre too busy with studying the machine itself... thats my opinnion though

dont know about you all but i feel like theres no REAL reason for me to get another sampler/drum machine, i mean its always nice to get new gear and all but i think my efficency is almost 100% with my 2000xl and its so easy to get results with, i could be blindfolded and would still be able to do the beat like wihtout the blindfold...

ive heard alot of good things about the 4000 and even the looks of the 4k is nice imo, im lil scared about how difficult it would be for me to get some quality results with it after working these almost 3 years only with the 2kxl, there is alot of stuff/options/whaeva in the 4000 that i dont have in my 2kxl...

Here's some MPC icons for Logic Pro.
