does anybody use a 2000 to sequence multiple things i'm looking to pick up an mpc 2000 to sequence 2 keyboards and maybe vst's but definitely sync'd to my computer does the mpc get a little sluggish or anything along those lines when lots of midi data is being sent out?

thank you for your feed back ahead of time

Whats up bro,

I dont have the 2000 but the xl. Just thought id post since they are pretty close. Ive never had a problem synched to ableton and pro tools. It requires a little fine tunning on the app's side though. I mean if you use it to trigger samples like in ableton. There are ram and buffer settings you can modify, which smooth things out. My lap top is old and probably barely meet specs but it works. I havent had any lag or latency that I havent been able to correct.

Ive also used the asr in this mix just as an added note.

Peace and good luck in purchasing!

It's always solid as a rock, the only thing that annoys me is how they ditched the 4 midi outs that the 3000 and 60 had!
When ever I used my friends 3k it was always such a joy, you could connect endless midi modules and never worry about muting ish on the mixer or what MIDI ch they are on

Don't know if it's to your taste but here are multiple MIDI modules beeing played with the XL

^ Sweet, always wanted to power level my mpc from a puny level 3 buttgnome, up to a level 30 rod swinging, fairy slayer with a magnificent beard worthy of a good strokage by the elven queen herself. My dreams have come true, thank you good sir/sirette!!!
