Hi,

I have an MPC LIVE II that I use mostly at home. My duo partner would like to use some of the features at gigs, but I'd prefer not to carry around the LIVE II.

So, I have a few questions about the MPC Studio (the newer version out now):

1. Can it work in a standalone mode (without an attached computer)? All the following questions are meaningful only if the answer is yes to this question.
2. Can expansion packs be loaded into it?
3. Does it have Pad Perform?
4. Can it load and play Chord Progressions?
5. Can it load and play sampled sounds (wav files)?
6. Can it play drum kits?

I'd appreciate any feedback. Our goal here is only to use the Studio in standalone more, not to have to carry around a computer. I suspect we can't do what we want with the Studio, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks,

Carl
