Hi people,
I've got some question about getting a MPC2000 XL and any advice you could give me would be very helpful.
Bout me: I make hip-hop, uk garage, reggae, and DnB beats using chopped-up breaks only. I currently use an Emu sampler controlled through VST. This way of working is fine for me but I want to use a sampler dedicated to percussion to free up my Emu for other sounds.
My Q's:
Not having used a hardware sequencer before, how do I integrate the MPC into my setup? ie, do I write the beats on the MPC and just trigger loops from Cubase?
I've heard of people sync-ing Cubase to the MPC, can anyone explain this to me and whether it's necessary?
Any advice on the pros and cons of buying second hand would be good also.
Thanks for the time folks. I really appreciate any replies especially those from people who use both hardware and software sequencers together.
