MPC 2000 is the only one I ever use. It's one of those thing you can just sit up & chop up stuff man. I haven't been on it much lately but when I do that's what I do. Get lost in the machine haha

They have not answered about the smpte, the fx board and the 8 outs.

They also said i would need to buy one of these to be able to put sounds on the 2000:
floppy drive($55)
external compact flash($275)
used cd externa($100)


NO!

Nice. I really want to get one, but i feel that i would have problems with it when it comes to getting my samples on it. I'll be sampling vinyl records with my turntable, but like my drums and things like that i get the feeling i'll have problems with getting in it. What do you use? And how is the process of getting them over?

Do i gain much by getting a 1000 for example? The only thing about it is that its small, and i want something bigger, and tbh i really like how the 2000 looks. I will feel more comfartable with something i like better. And its not like one can't make fantastic music with the 2000 even though it doesn't have all the features like the 1000.

People are saying that if one has the 1000 one should have jj os. But even if i get one, i know many would disagree, but i won't get the jj os i believe. I like it when im limited in a way(never tried te 1000, but read that one is limited on the 1000 with original os compared to it with jj os). But i don't know how the difference between me having a 1000 or the 2000 would make.

Yeah i'll probably get it but not now, gotta wait for some better offer. I ain't stressing about it because i don't even have the money for it right now.

Do you have the 2000?

You asked about workstations...the asr units (keyboard or drum machine) are great. I do not own one but I know they are powerful and have a good sound. Do yourself a favor and get on youtube and contact The Daydreamsound. he lives in Canada and rocks the ASR units. He will talk to you about it if you ask.
I am a fan of workstations like Roland Fantom S or X, Yamaha mox 6 or xs or AN1X, Korg M3.
Yes people will be selling old gear to buy the new Ren unit.
cheers,
Ian

I have a turntable connected to dj mixer then to the MPC 2000 for sampling vinyl. aux cable to dj mixer for audio sampling. MPC to M-Audio Fast Track Ultra via audio inputs when I want to track audio to pro-tools. So not the most fancy setup but I love it.

That setup seems nice, i really like that you don't have so much gear. So how do you like working with the 2000?

Thanks. I like the 2000 being the only drum machine I ever use. Lately it's been giving me problems though
