Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Solafide Tue Jul 05, 2005 11:18 am
At the moment, from what I've read, I could almost just go either way with these two machines (the MPC 2KXL or the MPC 1K).....

2K's are going cheap S/H, have a few extra sampling and sequencing features, a bigger interface, known as fairly tried and true etc...

1K's are portable, a few extra filters, have USB and smart media, built in FX, user reports fairly positive overall etc....

But I don't think that anyone has given a definitive answer to which of these MPC's has upper hand in sound quality? Might just help me to decide.

Is the 1K, being the cheapest in price, compromised a little in the sound department like the Triton LE is compared with the Triton Classic (a fairly big difference)? Is it a very noticable difference in general?

Since the ASR-X sound is the main sound that I know, how do MPC's compare with that?

Thanks...!!

personally i would say go with the 2kxl cause rember those extra features count and you can but a used one for about 8 to 9 hundread at the most and buy the multi card drive and installe it for no more then 70 dollarsand thats a a drive that takes all five diffrent cards. the 1k cool but i would say go with the mpc2kxl theirs a lot more you can do with it. as far as the sound quality goes its the same company so it probly the same. i still say go with the 2kxl if your still stuck just print up the features from both items and compare and what ever your budget is that will help you to
