OK, all yall motherfokers that are just here to cause trouble get the fock out of this forum, go to off topic where that shyt flies, we're supposed to be 'sharing your knowledge on these two classic MPC's' not blatently showing our ignorance and causing fights cuz we don;t have anything else to do. Doc, go play your games elsewhere, I know your sport, but I actually get something out of this section, so please don;t screw it up like the rest of the board is.
Philly is kinda making sence again. I am not a kid, nor am I making any rules. Not everybody sees the true potential in gear. they get their toe wet and the write it off for x reason and spend their time elsewhere, following some other trend. Most People had the same opinions about the 808 and 909 when the linn drum came out, then some broke as musicians bought them dirt cheap and created house with them. Just a few years ago everyone was harping about how dated the 808 sounds and how the sound is dead, then lil jon and the whole south thing happens with overt 808 all over it. people who say get with the times are almost always wrong, people who say they dont make them like they used to are almost always right.
Also philly, the newest thing in the gear list in your sig is 11 years old, you are not using modern shyt, so be careful who you side with

the 3000 has a great rep but it's hype is going down now that the 1000 and 4000 are out. Competing with the 2000 was easy comparitavely, but both the 1000 and 4000 have better interfaces than the 2000, so the 3000's edge with pro's is slowly disapearing. You'll see, they are alrerady dropping in price.
Still amazing machine, best OS ever IMO and probably the best hardware sequencer ever, but they opinion of the people at large shows some waning interest, so you'll hear the same BS people talk about the 60 without knowing the fiorst thing about it being talked about the 3000, just like they did the 808, they were wring then, and they are wrong now. Why do people care so much that I use Old gear? That I prefer it? I don;t care what you use, but so many cats with 2000's or 1000's come over here to start trouble about the 60 and SP, WTF? yall jealous of what you don't understand?
