I'm new here and am strongly considering buying an MPC 1000.. Just need to know a little more info before I buy one.

1) Can I chop a sample up in Propellerhead Recycle and then transfer it to an MPC 1000?

2) When I transfer a sample onto the MPC are the sounds automatically assigned to different pads?

3) I have Propellerhead Reason 4 and am wondering If I can use the MPC 1000 with this program.. If so what can I do with it?

4) I've heard some things about MPC 1000's having bad/faulty pads.. Are the ones on the black models fine?

5) Once I've recorded and created the beat on the MPC I can transfer it to the computer right?

Thanks :)

Hey :)

Q1: Don't use it, so I can't give you the answer.

Q2: Not automatically, you can choose where you want to have the sample.

Q3: Same as Q1.

Q4: Don't have any problems with my pads, but I have the blue/red model.

Q5: Yes. I resample it via the output, and then I put my CF card in my PC. Maybe you can also transfer it via USB but I don't use that.
