MPC 1000 soley as a drum machine question

Furthermore, from what I just read on that link, you can use BFD as a ReWire slave into sequencers like Logic, Protools, etc... so then you can apply effects from there (if BFD doesnt offer any).

Its a Drum, Sampler, Sequencer. Its a production Studio all in its self!!!
without the mutlitracking and vocal requirements but musical deliveries!

I mean i use my MPC entirely on its own and make beats no pc, no nothing, (though I do have)...i really cant understand why you want an expensive midi controller!

Exactly!

With all the money spent on an mpc which isnt going to be used anymore than a controller, that money can be well spent in software and a controller.

Further down the road I would probably delugve into the sampler realm of music production and by already having a MPC1000 which can also work fine as a Midi controller, I would have the best of what I need. Right now I create my music from scratch and not from samples. I will create all of my beats using the BFD drum sounds assigned to either the MPC 1000 or Trigger Finger. Music will be created using my Roland Fantom X8 and everything arranged together in Pro Tools 7.0 with a Digi 002 Rack.

The Trigger Finger is a bone dry Midi Controller. The MPC 1000 can do all that the Trigger Finger can do and then it has all of its other functionality. Yes, Pro Tools 7.0 can handle all the sequencing but the MPC 1000 is also a sequencer and has many other effects.

I just want a concrete answer as to whether all of the sequencing, effects, and all the other powers of the MPC1000 only work when sounds, samples, etc have been loaded into the MPC1000. If that is the case, then the MPC 1000 would be only useful as a midi controller identical to what the Trigger Finger can do since with BFD, you won't and can't load its drum sounds into the MPC.

Thanks for all of the advice so far

I already answered that on the previous page.

1K has a midi output so you can sequence sounds in another module or on your pc (provided it has a midi input).

if you want to use the effects in the 1k you will need to have the sound loaded up on in.

Seems to me (i can't speak for the others) that you don't really want help. What exactly do you want us to tell you? I think your mind is made up so close this pointless topic....

20 posts doesn't seem pointless to me. Do me a favour and ignore this topic. It is doing fine without you and so far I've gotten a wealth of help and answers from the people who have replied. And I am now siding closer to the Trigger Finger based on the fact that I will not be doing much sampling or any at all in the early years of my music creation.

ok, if i understand you correctly, if (short goal) you want to use it as a midi controller, then YES, you can. if (long goal) you want to use the whole set of features of what the mpc1000 can do, then YES do it. BUT if you want to use the effects in the 1k to add to your other gear without using the rest of the features in the 1k, then NO don't get it cause you won't be able to do it.

this is why everyone keeps leading you to the mpd16/trigger fingers. In your post, there were no question marks??? the only question mark in your post was when you asked "....any suggestions?" prior to that, your whole post was unclear. although everyone in here can be a little snippy, we all want to help each other. but we can't do that fully if the question is unclear or if it's a matter of common sense on the one asking the question. hopefully the first part of my post ^^ helps. if not, you have to reword your thoughts into questions. if you want answers, you have to be more precise.

I understand Sparqs, thanks. Yeah, basically my main question has been answered and I have a better understanding. To use the MPC1000, you have to load in your sounds and you can then go nuts with the features of the MPC. Using the MPC 1000 with the BFD drum sounds which cannot be loaded into the MPC 1000 I will not be able to achieve that so I'm better off with M-Audio Trigger Finger for now to create all of my beats. Plus my Fantom X8 can be used as a sampler for now since that has 16 smaller pads. I can purchase a MPC1000 with OS 2.00 at a later date if I feel the need to have it.

All I was saying was dude was trying to help and dogged him. It's peaceful in here homie so let your guard down. I think the 1000 is for you.

Yea trendsetter, I understand. It's all luv man.

Binger0 can definitely vouch for how well the trigger finger works. He bought one recently and uses it with Reason on his laptop. He made a quick jam with it that sounded really tight. If you want to readup more about it, look for his posts in the MPC Studio Environments forum.
