right on rookie.
No one is using an MPC so to it's fullest so as to need another one.

oh no i dont need one, i just want one. two mpcs would be dope for so many different things. Having a spare to make like another rig is nice and to just use it as a midi controller.

anyone ever thought of having an extra MPC in the men's room ?
you know, to drop beats while you drop something else ?

i know a lot of cats especially musicians that work well with a couple of MPC's together, including myself..... when u got so many sounds, and so much time, u just dont have time to load and unload discs, 256 sounds....definitely when u got em sorted out all over the place, i mean, maybe you guys only have your certain set of 256 sounds that you work with all the time or you have the time to just sit back and play around and find your sounds and put it on a pad and move on, but a lot of other people dont that are very busy... You MIDI up both of em and get ya grind on, yea, its cool also for back up, but we dont just sit one in the garage or nonthing like that.... we use all at the same time if need be

dude 96 sounds or programs....and by the way, they have had these well over 5 years before the 4000 even came out

When I read the first post in this thread (which quotes a post from the Future Producers web site), it seems to refer to a TECHNIQUE, not the convenience of having more sounds or outputs available.
R. Kelly is not known for using a wide variety of drum sounds or the frequent use of samples. In fact, his sounds are usually very basic. I really believe the so-called "trick" has to do with programming. It could be related to quantizing and timing. We'll have to wait and see if anything else gets revealed.
Just one newbie's humble opinion.

usually in threads, people expand on more things that relate to the topic, which we have expanded to, and you can say I have about sounds and samples

then why would you even need more than one mp?

That's my point!!! It has to be something unrelated to having access to sounds and outputs. I'm curious to know what the deal is.

even for complex sequencing, one is powerful enough to get the job done imo.

I mean, if you're not going to use them for what they're best at then you should seek out cheaper alternatives to play back samples right? I still can't think of anytime where I've needed even 32 samples (2 banks) much less 256. I guess my style is more stripped down. I also organize my **** so I don't have unnecessary sounds in a program. One program per track.
I still can't see how you can justify more than one MPC in sequencing. That Dre example only proved that most people are just lazy rather than actually NEEDING more than one MPC. Can't be bothered to change disks? WTF?
Must be nice to have money to burn like that.
no offense, but that a weak arguement
dude... check this out, MPC's load slowwwww.... verrrryyyy slowwwww, so that will slow down his production time, or anyone elses for that matter that needs to access all of their programs or sounds, and actually, if you think only using MPC for MIDI only, then u gotta be sick... u missing out on a lot more, yeah, u can use other things, but why when ya MPC can do that too, and u can fatten sounds, anyway, thats another topic.... but anyway, thats of topic, the main thing is, if u can only use 256 sounds, and u need access to all of yours samples, which me personally, i have over 10 Gigs of sounds for my MPC, most which i still havent even heard all of, and im sure some are the same, or somewhat similar...but its not lazy to be rushing, its lazy when u wanna sit around and wait, when u can be making more music, and much more dough, by a lil investment... a couple of MPC's, ok yea, the cost might be right around $10,000... versus making tracks that could end up making you 5 times the amount plus more... ya gotta think... but then again, your production style maybe different, so i cant be mad at ya for doing what you do, people use different methods, maybe u using your exact Motif of Triton Drums works for you, if so, much propz
