Learning Factor

For those who are 1st timers wit the mPc...I'd like to know the learning curve for this beautiful machine?

easiest learning curve of any machine i have ever owned especilly for what you can do with these machines

the learning curve on the 2500 is the same as any mpc except the 4000. I have only been producing for 2 year (well that is when i bought my first machine the mpc 2kxl) if you have ever used any drum machine sampler synth whatever you can learn the 2500. Real user friendly especially when the c and d midi ports work. If i where to choose one machine right now i would choose the 2500 over the 1000,2kxl,or the 4000. once all the bugs are worked out of this machne it is going to amaze people.

I've mostly made my music with a keyboard, and in just the week since i've had this machine, I have seen that it doesn't necessarily make the music better, it just makes putting it together easier.

But once u learn it u will c that its sequencer and drum programming are way tighter than any keyboard.

If u made beats on any other hardware machine than u should be able to figure out the mpc in no time. I used to use the asrx pro, when I made the jump to the mpc I made 3 beats that same day, didnt take long at all

Well, I have had my 2500 for exactly 13 days. I haven't spent but maybe 2 hours total on it and first off, it is amazing what this machine is capable of. I haven't leaned alot but just reading the manual clearly explains just about every aspect of this machine. I own a Roland XP-60 and I have NEVER read the entire manual because its boring to read and hard to comprehend (same with my Emu MP7) but this manual isn't so bad. I'm currently reading it for my 2nd time and I'm understanding what to do with this thing. If I had time to really get into the 2500 say for an entire day, I'm sure I could get it down pretty much in that amount of time. I'd say you can learn this machine in a month given you spend a considerable amount of time with it.
