I ain't sure but I think he used to play on an Ensoniq EPS16 and later switched to the MPC 3000....


Ya, that's what I heard. I never heard about Havoc and a 60. Naturally, Tip would've used an sp-1200. Also, I just read a post where a dude said Ms. Fatbooty was made on a 60.

Yeah, that's it!! Good looks Tic Toc, didn't want to butcher a classic line from a dope era. 'Next Level' I think that's what the track was called....'brothers can't believe how the skills have gotten...'...ahhh, the good old days......

There was a concert once, not sure if it was depeche mode or Erasure, but Vince Clark had one of them catapillar tank tread cars, an mpc 6 with analog drum sounds, and a bunch of casio CZ-101's controlled by the 60 inside the theng and was driving it around on stage. I heard the concert bootleg, pretty crazy.

I read in an article today that the song "Jezzebel" by Sade was made on a 60. Or rather, the drums were made on a 60 and the rest of the song was sequenced on one. does that count?

Listen to it, listen to the drums and you will recognize very clearly the 60 sound and swing.

Did Qbert used an MPC for his "Wave Twisters" ?

he also uses an sp1200, but back to the topic..who uses a 60, not just mpcs in general.

actually i read from an old interview that he used (at least) a 2000 and a 3000 for operation : doomsday, and basically just got shyt done on whatever he could get his hands on. don't know about what he uses today but there's a pic of him smoking a blunt in front of an mpc60II in the back cover of my favourite ladies.
