The MPC3000 deserves a FAQ/ BIBLE of it's own so lets try to do this.
As the final Roger Linn signature model and the most revered and sought after MPC this thread is long overdue.
As with the other 'Bibles' on these forums we want links to the really useful threads that are buried in the archives, tip's 'n tricks, tutorials and other useful stuff for both new users and educated hands alike. In particular we need some user info on what can be achieved using Rohan's Vailixi OS 3.50.
No questions or pointless comments here folks, just straight answers, information and other relevant links.
If necessary please edit your posts in order to keep everything together and easier to find.
