1. No offense intended.

2. You can do searches on this forum. It's great. Do a search and specify for the MPC3000, MPC60 option. This will search this section of the forum only. You can enter in your question, keyword, subject ect, and find that we had answered your questions already for other folks.

3. Ebay.com, Craigslist.org, and an numerous other sites can give you a general idea of how much the 3k sells for these days.

4. After conducting your search, if you are not satisfied. Akaipro.com has the manual for the MPC3k, you can download it for free there. Flip through it and see if you can find what your looking for.

5. Now that you've done plenty of background research and have a general idea of what your looking at. Feel free to ask educated questions about the 3k and you'll get some answers.

No sarcasm nor offense intended. It's just lately a lot of people have been asking identical questions about the 3000 and 60.

I have to agree somewhat.....I would say first get the manual. I had the 2000xl for almost a year and got very good with it and its functions and therfore familiar with the MPC style of doing things. Even so, I read the entire 3000 manual over a month BEFORE I got the 3000.

To answer one question, no there is no explicit undo like there is on the 2000xl. But once you get acclamated to the 3000 you get fast with the "edit loop" button. Look that up in the manual and you'll understand what I mean.
