The Concert Grand MPC Expansion Pack!

Anyone plan on getting this? Im getting it tomorrow. This is dope you get to have it spread across your keys. This will basically happen for the legacy MPCs but 2.0 will be able to install it. I remember l sampled a piano on the MPC 2000XL 88 keys. Talk about tedious. :WTF: it took all day and night to do it but it came out dope. Here its done for you. Only 24 bucks? That's nice for the pocket.

:WTF: are you kidfing me? Rhodes too? For 5 bucks more? Awhhh hell naw gotta get both of these this is bananas!

Do you know how much control you will have when playing them on the pads? Different velocities to guve it that realistic feel, wonderful sonics, you can make it dark or bright sounding etc.

The full programs feature 4 dynamic levels and chromatic keygroups (1 keygroup per note), so that's as realistic as you can get on the MPC although that's quite heavy going for standalone mode so you might be better off with one of the compact programs which still feature multiple dynamic levels but use less keygroups. There's lots of different compact versions available so you can pick the version that suits. There's also progressions and patterns included.

I should be able to use this with my midi keyboard right? So l can get the correct expression as l play.

Ok. I'm getting both tomorrow.
