Why does it matter?

You basing your whole style on someone who's music is pretty awful?! ???

His playing STYLE can be achieved on any MPC with any OS. It just happens to be the 2500 that he uses.

not sure if it's a decal or not. don't want to take off my sides and mess around with peeling it to find out. :lol:

the SE did come with the internal hard drive casing, just not the hard drive itself.

i ordered the 120gb hard drive and kit before i got it, so now i have a back-up hard drive tray (HDM-10), incase something ever happens to mine.

i haven't had a problem with the screen hurting my eyes, so i'm not sure what people are talking about.


i want those sides! i think they come off, cause i remember a guy on here had a LE or SE and he posted custom pictures up making his a regular black case but put the carbon fiber sides on it.

thats what i wana do with mine, cause its all balck with blue LED's and all black buttons too, i think that would set it off.

wana sell me those if they come off :lol: :lol: :lol: ill send you my regular sides and fronts from my black one or something too!

I'm not keen on his '20 crash cymbals every second' style. It makes my brain hurt after 2 minutes...


This is the most impressive video of ANYONE playing pads that I've seen.

Man, I'm glad somebody else feels that way about Aarab. His choice of sounds is unbelievable corny, and you're right he totally overdoes it. It's a shame to waste virtuoso hand skills like that.

That cat in the video is sick! Bernard Purdie status on the Maschine, nice. :D

He seems to roll his own, but only samples really cheesy 80's stadium rock like Europe Final Countdown style stuff, probably made it sound like a remix or mashup.

He's got beats out there, but I never heard of anyone being like "OMG who produced this Duke The God track ?" :lol:
