my Roland VM3100 Pro (VM, Dudez! not MV), thats a very small Digital Mixer with 12 Inputs...
I connect the 8 Outs of my MPC into the VM, and then, during the song, if i change the volumes of those channels on the Mixer, the MPC records every move...
You can do the same thing in the Mixer of the MPC, but this way its a lot more convenient..

My 1000 is in the mail so I've been day dreaming about my new studio set up - something like this:

MPC1000 for sequencing parts created in Logic 6 with Battery, Kontact and various plug-ins!

I'm not big into sampling records (but I do) I'm getting all my sounds out of my EMU Extreme Lead and Nord Lead 2 all through a Mackie 1642 with a couple of Compressors, filters and efx!

The only thing missing in this set-up is the 1000 but like I said, it's in the MAIL! Can't wait! Good Luck!
