MPC3000 QUESTION(S)?????

Check it out, I got a few questions. I have a MPC2000XL, it's fully loaded and I have an ASR10. Is this setup better or is it equal to the MPC3000? Is the MPC3000's sampler better than the ASR10? Does the MPC3000 have more features than the MPC2000XL. Also, how much($)does the MPC3000 go for these days? Can I still get it NEW? Thanks for the help fellas!

The ASR10 is way more featured as a "sampler" than the an MPC60/MPC300/MPC2000/MPC2000XL.

An ASR10 has a host of sample editing and processing functions that an MPC ( and a lot of other samplers ) can't touch.

The MPC sampler is good for one shots and loops.

An MPC is king where sequencing is concerned.

Is working with an MPC3000 -v- MPC2000/MPC2000XL together with an ASR10 better/worse in the case of one MPC or another

An MPC60/MPC3000 -v- MPC2000/MPC2000XL operate in quite different ways.

Having said that; result of what you can achieve with either of them shouldn't be too different if you know what you're doing.

Learn your gear more perhaps ?

Can you buy an MPC3000 new ?

Some stores may have some old/recpacked demo stock.

What is the going rate ?

An EBAY search for completed auctions of MPC3000 machines would be a good place to start.

Good luck.

Very true.

King of Seq'ng absolutely.

Having said that; result of what you can achieve with either of them shouldn't be too different if you know what you're doing.
Once again, very true.

Learn your gear more perhaps ?
Amen, find all the limitations you can find and create workarounds for each one. Get creative and free your mind.

Can you buy an MPC3000 new ?
I doubt it also, but you might get EXTREMELY lucky.
