LOL, I heard Roland is coming out with a machine that does everything else except hiphop. That's why they just lowered the price on their MV. :lol:

no its not mpcs are only designed for hip hop
doing motown can do some serious damage to the ad converters in your machine

good luck

It's funny that this thread came up, because I literally just worked on some dubstep beats. I guess dubstep is pretty much a raver version of hip-hop, but whatever.

I'm trying to make a quick buck off the hipster kids around here because they're all into dubstep right now, and my friend knows a lot of promoters. So I figure that 2+2= $.

Your creativity is the biggest limitation. I've mashed symphonies in my mpc. Madlib mixes jazz records on Yesterday's New Quintet albums. It's up to you.

i've used it primarily for hip hop beats but i've also used it to make electro and other dance stuff. I mean, it's a Midi Production Center. I can imagine that even people like Aphex Twin have used the MPC at one time or another.

You can make whatever. It's not set in stone, so to say. People mostly use it for hiphop, but that doesn't mean shit. As people already said, it's just a blank canvas, you put down what you want.
