yah, I gots it, and it is dope. my favorite thing is that the MPC's sequencer can control reason, IE u can program on the mpc and use the pads, and have the stuff in reason play. if u dont wanna go buy another sampler for sampling keys and stuff u cant really do easily on the mpc, reason 2.0 will do it. also the synth's on reason are pretty cool, good for basslines, so for these 2 alone its worth it to me. 1.0 may be better if u dont care about being able to use reason as another sampler, but the Subtractor synth is pretty good, it aint the best but if u dont wanna spend 500 bux on a synth that can only do 1/2 of what reason's can, then reason is ur man, I believe pharrall uses it alot to make basslines.[/color]
