And the Armrest on the MK I, solid metal casing, easier to open up, more space on the panel...

what do u make beats with now??

By DEADLY MiND Fri Aug 06, 2004 4:35 am
I use:
MPC2000XL & ENSONIQ EPS16+

I used to use Magix Audio Studio on PC. But i love hardware. I hate usin computers, so i went to hardware. Hardware is just a little bit realer to me. It was hard, but i had to re-learn how to make good beats on hardware after switchin.


Its my bro's 2KXL, but he understands how expensive they are. I dont alwaysd get a chance to use it for all my beats. But im pretty hot on the EPS16+. If you dont know, its just an ASR10 without 16mb (only 1mb), no scsi (optional), and a couple other little options.


I like the EPS+MPC combo. I just really want my own MPC. And i love that grimy sound (12-bit). I dont mind the low memory of the 60, my ensoniq only got 1mb. And if i get a 60 or 60II, and i love it, i might get another one.




90% of the time i sample. But listenin to scott storch, he really got me wonderin if i should get a triton or motif. Thats still a while down the road, and im pretty comfrtable with samplin, so ill stay without a synth for now.

Does the 60 or 60II have the "MIXER SCREEN"? You know the one you can see on the MPC2000XL? It has about 16 faders with the pan dial above each fader, and it fills up the whole screen.


I doubt that it does, but if you could givew me a heads up i apreciate it. Thanks.
