the way i see it you have to master what you got! right!
i didn't kno what i was buying almost three years ago when i bought mpc xl, but i think i heard they discountined the 2000 so i bought my xl the bottom of the line , but i figured out that i needed more time so i bought more memory, then i figured out that my floppys were to slow and to save songs it took up to many floppys, so i bought a zip now i have a great piece of equipment to make music.
to me my mpc is the greatest or one of my greatest investments i ever bought next to my three1200's and the rest of my studio.
now i 'm just learning to master it or roc it.
i sure you can do the same on any machine as long as you know what you are doing .
right!!!
