Greetings. I just picked up a Akai MPC One this week, and am really liking what I'm hearing/seeing so far. I picked up an old Boss DR-660 drum machine a few weeks ago, and discovered I really wanted something more advanced. I'm well aware the Akai MPC One is lightyears ahead of that type of a drum machine, but really want those simple 'drum loops' ala the Korg Electribe, DR-660, TR-909, etc. that has a lot of the old school electronic kits as well as acoustic kits in a variety of styles (Rock, Country, Techno, House, etc.) to get started with, do some grid drum programming, and just have something simple to jam along to, without having to get deep into the One at this point in time. The included library sounds pretty nice, but really want just more genre variety. Ultimately, I'd like to have most of the old 80's drum machines.
Any suggestions? Free would be great, but I'd be willing to pay too.
Also, any other newbie 'man, I wish someone told me 'x' when I first got my first MPC' advice is also welcome too. There's a lot to learn here. I just brought it up in stand-alone mode, and haven't even tried to get in integrated with Windows 10 or Cubase Pro yet.
