You gotta get some midi headphones. Anything less won't suffice.

You will need either...

a) A pair of ACTIVE MONITORS or

b) A pair of PASSIVE MONITORS and an AMPLIFIER

You will need to record or load a sample to make a bassline.

Ignore the previous answer, it contributes nothing to you as a potential user/ owner.

Midi headphones are the new craze. I only paid 1500 for mine.


or you could get the mpc1000 mk5, which of course comes with internal clock radio speakers.


why would you want to hear what you are doing anyway.... that ish is weak doggie.
