i would go with the mpc 1000. the triton sounds have almost all been worn out. the mpcs would allow for a much more diverse sound in your music. and with a sampler your music can be what ever you want it to be.

man,,i got an mpc bout a week ago, and at first it was a little frustrating. Just yesterday, i started catching on to how things are created and i am slowly becoming amazed by the power and depth of this unit. If your making mainly hip hop, (Especialy sample based) , there is no queston the moc is it....Plus, its the freakin size of a laptop, you can upgrade the ram cheap, get a 2 gig CF card for it,and you can put a laptop harddrive in it 
Throw a buncha semi chopped loops on the HD and youll be set for months away from the computer...

Wrong answer.
Triton extreme is a full fledge sampler also, why do people forget that.
The sounds are not played out, it's you who have only heard them used lazily and not creatively.
Everybody FORGETS that you don't HAVE to use the internal sounds, it's a full sampler also, damnmit man.

Word. How can a sampler/synthesizer that can record new, fresh, and original sounds be "worn out", or played out? Not to mention, you can create new sounds or edit sounds to make them new, within the synth engine itelf.
Fools need to just stop relying solely on presets, and dismissing a machine because they've exhausted all the default sounds.

So many forget it's a sampler also though.If it was JUST a rompler I would understand a little more. But c'mon people.
protoolz - if you want a simpler work interface, pads to bang on and quick bang and go then the 1k is the choice you want.
If you want keys to stroke, full fledged sampler/worstation/rompler, triton is the choice you want.

Lampdog is right.
My only beef with the Korg Triton sampler is that it does not compare with the MPC for drums. You can make better drum kits easier in the MPC than on a Triton in my opinion but that is just me.
The Triton is kind of lame unless you get that MOSS card because then you can create your own sounds, otherwise the presets are pretty lame.
If you are a record sampling type producer than the MPC might be better for you. I got the MPC to make drum kits and I haven't found any other machine that can compare to it for that. Another thing to consider is the Triton's sequencer is decent but you can only sequence at BPM intervals of +-1 where as the MPC can do +-0.1 which doesn't sound like a big deal but if you do remixing like I do, this is a huge benefit.
The Triton's sampler is definitely better sounding (well clearer) than the MPC, but the MPC has the warm feeling to it, I can't really explain it. The MPC sounds like it kind of compresses the sample and makes it sound sweet, even if you don't have effects on! The Triton needs a lot of effects linked up to archieve that on drums.
What kind of music do you produce?
