alright this is gonna be a long one but here it goes.....
My buddy (who runs a studio) and myself just finished recording a really experimental electronic album (i.e keyboards through distortion pedals etc.). We have decided to continue with this project so therefore we need a way to perform this stuff live. We recorded our whole record through a Trident 80B into Steinbergs Nuendo. we would set a basic project tempo and make loops and then basically construct the song. we purchased an AKAI MPC 2000 with the full 32Mg upgrade and a zip drive thinking that this would be the best way to perform live, we plan to load the individual loops for each song onto a zip disk and then load them into the mpc and trigger them live....so in a clearer form here are some of my actual questions
1. The MPC at max can only hold 32MB of samples in it at one time. some of our song loops files are much larger than this (the largest being around 80MG) does anyone know if with the MPC whether or not you are actually able to trigger samples from the ZIP drive or if they actually have to be loaded into the sampler.
2. The MPC has the SCSI interface on the back for connecting the zip drive, I was wondering if it would be more beneficial to buy a CD drive and then just load stereo wavs of the complete song files as wavs
