yo, i don't have it.. but i have tried it in the store and it looks very nice.. i would buy it if i had the money..
i know you can get som nice sounds out of it, so why return it? neptunes said that they used it for bass-sounds! so it has to have something good in it..
i don't really know of any smart ways to use with an mpc, but i would keep it anyway..

Stick with it! I use one with my mpc 2000. I can def get some fat @ss basslines, serious strings and nasty synths. Not to mention the ill vocoder. I haven't even learned all the capabilities of mine yet and am amazed so far. Definitely a great addition to ur studio...Peace

I think the Micro is dope, you should keep it unless you can get the MS2000 (or is it MSr2000?) for a little bit more. They both have the same sound engine but the 2000 has 4 voices instead of 2 on the Micro.
You can also Multisample on the MPC and map the multi-samples to the keys on the micro, or you can use the micro as a filter box for samples from the MPC, so yeah, it works with the MPC.
You probably know this, but connect midi out from the MPC to Midi in on the Micro, and Midi in to Midi out on the Micro.

Vakseen you got any tips to get those fat @$$ basslines?
Do you start with a preset and tweak, or just start from scratch?
Also since we talkin about the Micro, when you program your own patch do you really have to save it over a preset? I couldn't find any empty bank to save patches in...
