An MPC on steroid for sure.

Got to have one...depending on the price that is. Im not shelling out 3000 + for this puppy.

Technology is cheaper to build now-a-days so why don't they lower the damn prices.

Oh well, no use ranting about it. Lets see what this monster can do. We need some demo songs.

if i had money to buy one, i rather would like to have a 3000 , even without earing the 2500 demo before.
