Connecting MPC2500 with samplers

Mistamoon86 wrote:I want to ask you couple of questions and hear your opinions:

1. What are the best analog or digital recorders or interfaces to track out beats, in channels, from an mpc so you can get sound almost as it sounds on a mpc?

2. Is it possible to connect other, older akai samplers like s2000 or s3000xl with an mpc2500. I can get it cheap but i never tried because the people who sell those are not in the same city as me, and i red in manual that mpc2500 is not compatible with other then s5000 and s6000?

3. Is it possible to re-sample from 16bit to 12bit on mpc2500 like you can do that on mpc2000xl for example?

4. Is there some MTRs that dont need extra audio interface to connect it to Cubase so you can manage project directly?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for answer
