whats the benefit of having a one track MPC?


At this low price ? Could be to calm down a G.a.s , have fun on the bus for a few weeks, and then trade it to an used mpc one :) oh no my evil plan is discovered :WTF:

I've been told that at the big events you are forced to stay in sync with the laser, fire, etc show.

So you're somewhat limited to what you actually can do live.

Anyway I think by now the audience should know that they are attending public viewing parties. Folks don't seem to care. I find it odd, but hey, they are having a great time.

As an entry level MPC, definitely. IMHO the sample is more a sketchpad, or maybe an expensive toy, or a GAS calmer... Or it just looks pretty on Instagram.

The one is so good that you can buy it as an entry level MPC, and stick to it for years and years.
