When I got the MPC, I figured there would be enough memory that I wouldn't need to use disk streaming, as I had been doing on an Octatrack. However now I know there isn't as much memory in there as advertised.
I guess I could add something like a SP404 with a 32G card, and have a ton of sample power - throw bedtracks on there and trigger it with the MPC.
I could save the MPC memory for drums and elements I would want to manipulate live.
Anyone out there have experience triggering another sampler from the MPC Live? Is there any midi latency? can all of that be overcome by triggering external samples a smidge early?
Just wondering if this is a reasonable idea or not. I kind of wonder if the two machines would stay in sync properly enough to have rhythmic elements on bedtracks and coming out of the MPC.
