just wanted some expert advice on the comparisons of the mpc 2000xl vs the triton studio. I own a triton studio (maxxxed out) and was thinking about getting a mpc2000xl. Now I make some of the hardest, hottest beats (in my opinion) with the triton studio. I dont sample but I know how to. I keep hearing about the sweet sequencer of the 2000xl. is it necessary?

dont kno to much about a triton but the mpc is better wit drumz than a keyboard my opinon. you dont have to sample for it to come in handy. the mp has i think 99 traks in the sequencer (cant remember off hand) but it does come in handy with keyboards. its not only for sampling (midi production center sampler/sequencer/drum machine)if you are thinkin of gettin a mp with your triton i dont think youll be dissapointed.

if you're makin "the hottest beats" with your triton then stick wit it. If it aint broke, dont fix it

YEAH I HAVE BOTH OF THEM. I LIKE THE MPC BECAUSE THE TIMING IS WAYYYY DIFFERENT FROM THE TRITION. PLUS THE BIG PADS COME IN HANDY WHEN YOUR CREATING A MIX.

They are not even in the same class/league.

"I own a triton studio (maxxxed out) and was thinking about getting a mpc2000xl."
Good combo to have.

"Now I make some of the hardest, hottest beats (in my
opinion) with the triton studio."
Of course you do.

Is it necessary?
No.

I have both an XL and a triton studio and a couple of other keyboards but if you are strait with the triton then stick with it plus you can do more with the triton bye itself if you lack the drums sample them in and also you can sample while the seq is going harddrive space and all that so the choice is yours.
