new to the forum, just copped a 2k xl last week

I have been lurking for a lil while, just wanted to introduce myself to the community. Learned on a DR-5 and absolutely appreciate the MPC, dam what an instrument!

Welcome to the fam. The XL was a good choice

Yeah welcom to the fam..youll love the MP!

Welcome to the fam. But um ima 2k user but the 2k and XL are cousins so we still fam.

Glad to see that i came to the right place

I love my MPC, it was like an instant connection.

Now as soon as I finish the manual with (complete understanding) I can really get to work.

I read the manual a chapter at a time and at the same time I try to perform the actions, it takes a while but it seems to work for me. After a few hours of that I proceed to "play around" with it.

I upgraded the memory (32mb) already and soon I will replace this Zip drive with a CF reader.

Welcome to the fam big dog.

Word, I take learning a new instrument very serious. The capabilities are infinite and I want to be able to exploit all of them with relative ease. So far I havent had any confusion with the manual explaining the functions. I treat it like life, the more you learn = the more you know

you'll learn stuff here that isn't in the manual....like the double resoltuion trick, ask Lampdog.

i gotta crawl before i walk, in order to run.

good looking out on the tip streetbeats (making note: hit Lampdog up for the dbl resolution trick in the near future)

Welcome cuz!!! I hope you enjoy your MPC as much as I'm enjoying mine!!! I just copped mine a little over 3 months ago and I'm having way too much fun. It's a whole lot better than trying to sequence in SONAR (IMO).

Try combining Soanr with ya MPC
