MIDI Slave

Hello MPC fans,

Before I purchase this thing I need to know the following.
First I wish to use the AKAI MPC 2500 as a dumb slave. Meaning I prefer using my external Motif keyboard with built in sequencer to trigger samples off the MPC via MIDI. IS this doable?

I assume that I will be creating MPC programs with samples assigned to NOTEs and away we go. Correct?

I assume that I can trigger MPC programs notes from Motif without the need for a MPC sequence. Correct?

I guess what I;m trying to find out if the MPC can be used simply as a sound modules and what are the limitations of using the MPC as a slave.

I assume that I must manualy load programs from the MPC first before each songs created on the Motif since I cannot load new programs via MIDI.? Correct?

Thanks for your input

Yes to everything.

yep, you can do those.
Offtopic, but its pretty expensive for that purpose only.

You might as well get a rack sampler like an Akai Z4 or Z8, S5000 or S6000! They all use wav files too. Seems like a total waste of an MPC otherwise. They can be bought for much less than half the price of a 2500. I've just watched a Z8 go for £301 on ebay.
