sounds like your getting sampling and midi mixed up. i thought sampling was taking a clip of something and using it in your beat. what you describing is playing your keyboard over your drums. sounds like midi. YES you can do that. I use an mpc 2000 and i love it to death. i see NOTHING wrong with it. even the fact it dosnt have time stretch. you dont need it!! the 2000 is priceless to me

cool,but as far as using vst's in a mpc sequence how does that go about for instance novation bass station if i open it up in cubase and i wanna use the sounds in novation bass station would i sync the mpc to cubase for the sounds in a vst? and how would i go about sequencing everything on a MPC but same time using vst's ,if some one can explain how to set this up so i know when i get my mpc this week i would apreciate it

Listen man

Here is the basic set up

MIDI out of your keyboard to the MIDI in of the MPC
MIDI out (A or B)your your MPC to the MIDI in of your soundcard
THen u set up your VST to recvice the MIDI signal

THis way u will have 16 channels (16 differnt instraments)that u can play from ur VST using you MPC MIDI tack function
MIDI track 1A(or B) to... 16A(or B)

So with your MIDI keyboard you can play sounds on the MPC and your computer vst's.

U will treat the computer vst's just like you would treat a soundmodule, the only differnce is that the rack is on your computer.

You audio would have to be like this

Audio out from your MPC INTO your MIXER(mpc sound)
Audio out from your soundcard INTO your mixer(the vst sound)

Audio Mixer OUTPUTS back INTO your soundcard(vst and MPC sound)

THis way u will be able to hear and record the sounds from your MPC and your VST at the same time by listening to audio from your mixer(headphones, speakers) or recording from your mixer back into your soundcard.

this a general overview, do your reaseach

classs..
