Sampling on 1k vs Sampling on comp

This has bothered me for a while. What i understand is, it's the
sequencer of 1k that costs, not the sampling engine and if i remember
correctly, someone even posted the price of the sampler in 1k (200$...?).
Now what im thinking is, is it better to sample sounds with your comp, or
should i use the sampler in 1k? Are there any differences in sound? Or does
it make any difference? Sampling on comp is without a doubt much easier,
but 1k is a sampler, so shouldn't one use that feature to the fullest? When
i've brought stuff to 1k, that i've sampled on comp, i notice that on the 1k
it sounds different. So that got me thinking that it really doesen't matter what
you use for sampling, since in the end, the 1k will play it with it's own
distinctive sound regardless if it's sampled on 1k or whatever. So what are
ppls preferences?

1. What r u sampling from. If u r tryin to do some good sampling from a turntable, I think u might wanna go wit the mpc1000. Its kinda difficult to run a turntable to a computer and still won't get the sample sound as u would from the 1000. Not like u can jus take the sampler out of the 1000 n e way. U can sample anything and I mean n e thing if u r creative. Get the right wires, or mic and ur good.

2. If u r samplin from a cd or data track sure sample and cut on the computer then throw it on the 1000 to freak it.

Don't forget the 1000 does more than sequencing, its a pretty good sampler, has some filters, compressor, and sorta like a keyboard if u break it down on the 16 level tip.

I do both - if it needs heavy chopping or processing I'm more likely to use the PC. Having the CF slot on the MPC and a card reader on the PC is a match made in heaven, but sampling on the MPC directly is actually faster a lot of the time.

This might be sort of strange and i dont know if other people ever do that but I like to sample and chop timestretch etc. my stuff on the computer but then instead of saving it onto the cf i ll record it to the the mpc through the analog inputs. usualy needs a little trim at the end but sounds just great i find recording into the mpc adds some warmth and mpc caraceristics to my samples.

Not weird @ all its jus how u do ur shit. Its all based on personal preference really imo.

i like the trim and extract features on the 1k I find its much faster than the computer, especially to hit record with 1 hand cued up to a certain spot on the record its a little better than doing the same thing on the cpu IMO.

yeah i agree that its much better to sample on the 1k once you get used to the numeric start and end. If you don't have a really good audio interface for your computer the sound will be better to sample with the mpc. If i need to do a lot of choping and sample editing i'll still record the sample with the mpc then save it to the cf card and put it in the cf card reader atatched to my computer. Its faster than moving the cables around and i feel i get an overall higher quality sample.
