I have a camcorder and an MPC500 but have only just got my studio back together. I will try and get something done soon :)

Thanks fellas.
I was gonna do something more in the way of a tutorial,
but I figured that everyone already knows what it does.

Mostly, I wanted to show the compatibility of libraries,
and the fact that you don't have to "slam" the pads.

I played them both with pretty much the same velocity.



RELATED TOPIC!

Did anyone ever see that guy in his drum "tapping" video?
He was on an old Alesis HR-16. Dude was SIIIIICK! Can't remember what his name was, but he was also an actual drummer. Love to see that cat hitting an MPC.

If anyone brings him up, POST A LINK FOR ME??!!!

Many thanks.

that thing is NOT worth 800



companies dont price things based on how much something is "worth" the price things based on how much they think people are willing to pay and based on how many units they need to sell to turn a profit.

Sure I'd like the 500 to cost $1.99 but that aint gonna happen, there are plenty of people that are willing to pay $800 (im one of them).

If it aint for you, then it aint for you, the only thing I've ever seen you post here is about How much you aint gonna buy one cuz it cost too much.

All this shit is over priced anyway.... every last mpc model is overpriced. The reason I didnt get a 1000 was because I figured if I was going to over pay for an MPC I'd rather over pay for the biggest muther **** they got, and not pay $1000 for a pip squeak version.

You think the 2kxl MCD is still worth $1600? that shit should be like a thousand.

You think the 2500 is worth $1999?

you think the 4000 is worth $2799?


hell no! but what are u gonna do?

The portability alone is worth 800$, in my opinion.
