I just got mine and am really liking it. The last mpc I used was the 2000.

In fact I'm in the process of sampling my Machinedrum so I can sell that.

The story goes, I ordered the 2500 last week. It arrived Friday, moments after I find out I'm laid off. Otherwise I would have kept the Machinedrum. I'm on the American Music payment program so I'll be ok for a while.

I can only imagine the OS will get alot better. If the 1000 os is supposed to be that great I can only expect some more from the 2500.

For instance has anyone noticed in the grid edit mode? You can use the large encoder wheel or cursor while it's playing. While it does not sound that great, some glitching, I can imagine it being like a scratch thing.

It's a very versitile machine with alot of creative potential.
