Heya..
In regard to the MPC 1000.
I'm looking to perform live with a sampler based unit on stage.
I intend on sampling whole backing tracks (around 4 mins per track and up to 10 tracks per set)
and wish to trigger each one of these simply by hitting a pad (or other midi device).
I also wish to sample single hits from my VSTi synths on PC and play them on a connected midi keyboard along to the sampled backing track.
I realise that it is only using JJOS2/XL that I will be able to play full instruments on a midi keyboard attached to the MPC 1000 from one single sample.
My question is would this all be possible at once?
I would need to change the synth samples maybe 2 or 3 times during each track, all whilst the long backing track sample continues to play. Will need to assign seperate midi channels for each sound etc.
Should I just settle for an old S5000 sampler on stage instead or could the MPC 1000 be pushed in this way?
Was really trying to avoid heavy rack mounted devices on stage..
All samples will be pre-edited and imported from PC to hardware sampler.
Have also been looking at the Roland SP-555 etc, but not sure that any of those will do what I'm after either..
I have loads of other outboard synths and effects for live but just needed to sample up VSTi's for performance and wanted to avoid using ADAT for backing if I can run it all from one unit..
Hell bent on NO laptops for live...!
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks..
