Hi all. Yeah heard about v2 a couple of months ago but im not having sleepless nights or anything.
Thing is as it stands the mpc is horribly powerful anyway. I got a mac but except for vocals or live stuff everythings done on my mpc. All my keys are sampled etc. Im selling my s3200xl as it has no place any more. Its just to big and the mpc sounds teh same as it or close enought.
Thing is tho I got rid of a ton of stuff i had keys,out board etc because i found out im not a collector im still in to making the music. And this is my gripe with the mpc. You have to apply limitations in your mind before you use it.
No question the best tracks were made on s950's, mpc 60's or sp 12/oo's
and even the original fairlights were pretty awsome. I have used a couple of them and i discoverd what makes them so cool.
It aint the sound no way. I love the sound but thats not why they rock.
Its 100% to do with being able to fit just a dozen sounds in the memory. You then have to make all those samples count.
The thing is a sampler dont really need outboard. If you know what your doing you can make whole tracks that sound %100 with just clever samples.
I dont get this new trend of making grooves then putting them in a computer. And zapping them with plugs. If it needs this or that it dont work. Simple do it again it takes 5min. Make a new loop. The loop probaly needed the fix cos it was a lame groove.
Think of those old drum machines like the sp12. That sound set of about 15 samples was wicked and used on loads of records. So why do you need gigs of data.
I got this new system. I make kits with 6 samples. I have a pad or something i play then audition the samples to that. When i have six sounds i beat the pads see if they work. Then i go and set all my filter envelopes, level pan reverb etc. Only then i make the loops. thats the best system i have used so far.
