It all depends on what you're looking for if you want to work on a pc/mac to do the wave editing and do the sequencing on a standalone machine then the mpc-1000 is the thing for you, If you want a more 'all-in-one' machine then go for the mpc2000xl. It is wrong to believe that the mpc-1000 can do everything the 2000xl does, we're talking different machines with a different filosophy behind it. I was in the same position as you and I went for the 2000xl (due to being fed up with trouble that my pc gave me) I'am happy as larry and would never go for a mpc1000 but that is my personal opinion. It all boils down to how you want to produce your tracks. If you don't like working on a pc/mac then go for a 2000/2000xl/4000 (if money is no problem

)otherwise a 1000 is probably a good thing for you.
ps: Please check your caps -lock before you mail

it looks as if you're shouting or as if you type the post on an mpc
