Which MPC do you think sounds best????

Which MPC sounds the best in your opinion and of course reason why. I see people paying more for MPC 3000 than for a 4k, when the 4k is newer!

ive never used another mp other than the 1k, but when you turn the master EQ on, its like magic for real

I think the 1000, 2000/XL, 4000 and probably the 2500 all sound to similar to even notice let alone put any value on the difference. The 3000 and 60 have characteristic sound which alot of people will favour.

as far as sound clarity

3000

the way it colors the sound is nice

quick ?, do they have ability to do mono programs and chop?

mpc60 sounds the best, mpc3000 second,a nd ther est they all sound like poopoo butter...

60

outta the 2 ive owned the 2k and the 1k, I would say the 2k.

I've used a 2kxl and a 60.

The 60 def sounds better.

mpc 60 then mpc 3000

I think it's a matter of who the user is on any machine.

That's irrelevant to this conversation. Were talking about the color added by the dsp and converters. Of course a better producer gets a better overall sound. But machines have an inherrent sound as well.

Take your pick...

from lo-fi grimy to hi-fi shiny...Akai's got you...

BTW, @ Tutor...good work man...
