And has the capability of connecting to the internet to download samples. :D

No there not. They are different compound same mold.


maybe, they're just buttons though, as long as they work/feel the same..who cares? I can't tell any difference, maybe your hands are sensitive from all the Jergens? :mrgreen:

I have never owned a 3k but I have tried them both side by side for a short period
my impressions were that the original 3k was more of a solid build quality than the 3k le.

That was my first impression before I ever heard there was a build quality difference
I was disappointed because I liked the look of the le much better.
I ended up passing on both of them because I have a 4k and just didn't see the point of going backwards.

I have the le and can't see how the regular could be any more solid than this!!! VON--I also had a 4k then went to the 3k. It's only a backwards step if you allow it to be. I personally can do what I was doing( other than resample)-I really do like the 3k better!

I had both 3000 and 3000le and I had to sell mpc3000 in 2012. It all depends on who used the machine before. My 3000 was in mint condition and le was in bad condition. I spent more than $2000 on LE and now it is in perfect condition. fixed all the issues with these machines.
