Does the mpc2500 have problems when it comes down to quantizing? I read alot of reviews other places saying its "OFF BEAT" @ times and it doesn't start where its suppose to sometimes. Is this true? If so i'll just keep my money to myself. :?

Try it yourself. It would be silly to believe what you read in some reviews witthout testing it...

But there is no problems with quantizing speaking for myself only. Hang tight...you may get further opinions here..

aint nothin wrong wit quantizing. Those who say its off beat were probably off beat to begin wit. People **** and moan but half the time its excuses.

I stopped using quantizing cuz you can swing better on your own but i still use it on simple drum patterns if im lazy.

Other half of the time it's their inability to get their head around and inside their gear, ie, human error.

no issues at all with quantize infact i love the sequencing with quantize on the 2500 much much better than that of my kurzweil k2vx and triton studio no complaints at all. luvin it

just to add to the arguement, absolutly nothing is wrong with quantize. break inthe pads for a few months and youll be fine.

NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, the quantize on here is actually very dope. I know my homie says it sounds robotic but my shit is breathing lovely on quantize just as it would off quantize....
