Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Am a long time MPC3K user and for the past year i have been using the s950 for my samples, i always guessed that both the 3k and 6k had the same feel, swing wise, but recently i read a post outside of this forum saying that the swing feels different? Not sure if this is true but it got me thinking. My first MPC was the 2000 1st edition which took some criticism for me due to it's poor sound this is way i got a 3k but when i got the 3000 i noticed it had a much stronger feel or dare i say tighter. I much prefer the 3k feel to the 2k. But is the feel any different between the 60 and 3000. I very much like to hear from users who own or have owned both machines.

What your opinion.

Some say the 60 sounds looser than the 3k.

Co-sign.

The 60 is looser than the 3000 especially with it's original software in it.

The MPC60 has a slower processor. I got both of them, so I never really paid no attention. People asking these questions just want something to talk about. And probably don't own both, let alone one!

It's not just something to talk about for me, i am genuinely in the market for buying one, i won't be dumping the 3000 even if i do prefer the 60's feel the 3K is far to valuable to me just based on the sound alone. Reason am interested is that i tend to do a lot of work that requires 1 or 2 kicks being pushed off alongside the rest off the kicks being swung and i have a sneaky suspicion the this will sit a lot nicer with a looser machine. Am not really gonna suffer much if it isn't working out as i hoped, i will just resell the 60.

Thanks a lot for the input on the slower processor this is something which i should have thought off in the first place


Peace
