Saying you gotta large sample you want to chop up - on the 2000XL when you load up the trim window it takes a while to load up the sound pattern (which is useful), just wondering if the 2500 improves on this at all? I'm gonna be getting one of these after Christmas.

it depends on how "large" a sample you're talking about. on average (not counting) it doesn't take long at all. a few seconds maybe. but if you're loading a whole song that's around 40mb then you're talking about a minute or so.

yeah, timestretching on the 1k and the 2.5k makes the XL look like it's crawling at a snail pace. same thing for pitch shifting.

Is the time stretch and compression as fast on the 4000?

Just what I wanted to hear! I've been impressed with the features it offers but never heard anyone talk about the speed before...

Can't wait to get my 2500... Just gotta wait till Christmas is over so I don't have to think about over-spending. Shame though coz I've missed my chance at getting it for £750 brand new...

It is five times faster than the earlier mpc.
