So yeah i have the classic, and iv just started using it as a slave thru midi with FL 9 and this is d shit. However do i really need an mp still since im just using it as a midi controller and not rly using it much,or should i just buy an mpd or a trigger finger or something.

Or even better, is there a way i can use the mpc still omehows hardware with it.

iv searched, havnt found much help, and sorry im 16 years old, damn noob to this ish haha

Ight bassicly im saying that i use the 2k classic as a midi slave for fruity loops using it with the FPC plugin in fruity loops, i feel that im just using the pads and not really using it as an mpc anymore as i do everything in fruity loops

So i was thinking, should i just sell the 2k and buy a midi controller like a MPD,or Trigger FInger

Or is there a better way to use fruity loops with the 2k classic

mpd and trigger have more assignable knobs/sliders.

2k is more of a limited midi controller in that respect.

With the money you get from the 2k you can get an mpd/trigger finger.

300 is good for the buyer and the seller is getting his mpd

eh i used to use fl and i would say, mpc > fl studio.. i like having everything hardware instead of software.. thats just my opinion tho

I'd keep the mpc and use it as a midi controller, you not going to get much for it anyway. and when you feel you need a break from computer or change of workflow you can always use the mpc as a standalone, mpd you cant.

I dig my computer based setup and dont regret selling my mpc...however properly twisted Jay, stack of vinyl, tt and mpc always sound so good and appealing.

thing is i love the mpc, but it can be such a headache when i want to put synths on it and make actual beats, i have to export the sounds from fruity loops and sample it into it, i find it easier using the midi, if i had a bunch a hardware, id keep the mpc, but unfortunately im just 16 using fruity loops on his netbook xD

for the past months, its been more of just a toy tht i use at my church lol
