Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Hey I just picked up an MPC3000LE in Paris and am loving it mad but can't find any decent tutorials or books for it!
Seems to be something for every other MPC out there but not the MPC3000 which is considered by so many to be the king!
Got hold of the Samplekings MPC3000 tutorial video, it was helpful but kind of brief, not too detailed. I was considering the How to use MPC with Logic eBook but then noticed that the MPC3000 was the only one not on the list!! I'm trying to use the MPC3000 alongside a Kronos and running Logic to record the audio. If anyone knows of anything it would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

would love to do some stuff for the 3000, but I dont actually have one at present. Plus i need to concentrate on books for mpcs that have the most users, as the reality is, those are the books that pay the bills - a big MPC book can take several months to write, so I need to be sure it will sell more than a handful of copies. If I can get hold of a 3000 for a couple of weeks, I'll update the Logic book - however, the principles are the same for all MPCs, so mpc3000 users shouldn't find it too hard to follow in its current form.

I'm currently looking to do a few updates to the Logic book, so I will see if I can get mpc3000 updates done for it at the same time.

But I'm afraid there are definitely no plans to make a 'beat making on the mpc3000'

This tutorial may be of use to you.

It was based on using an MPC4000 but as MPC-Tutor said all MPC's OS are similar in basic operation.

Sequencing on the main screen and routing midi signals to the midi outputs is pretty simple to work out.
