is it possible to record while listening to the beat, like on the asr-10 on the EPS ???

so you could sample live instruments and scratch and shit.. that would be dope

i'm pretty sure i've seen Sansui down here in Australia... it may have been the $hiz in the day, but now it's one of those cheap, nasty, generic brands... seen them making TV's, blenders, car stereos, anything!

Thanks...had mpc1k for bout two weeks then returned it threw in some more cash and got 2500. I like the 2500 a lot, wish had more time to play with it, work keeps me pretty damn occupied so only play time this thing gets is on weekends...but mpc1k felt like a toy in comparison to 2500. Considered the 2000xl but didnt want used and new one costs nearly as much as 2500.
I got it hooked up to the motif then motif is connected to the computer with mLan firewire. Also maxed out the motif with 512 ram and 120gig external drive. But I'm thinking of going cubase for recording and sequencing. Cuz I want to keep my motif sounds at 24 bit rate and just do most of sampling and drums on the mpc.

Dammm I never really looked into the Motif because I have the Trinity and Triton, but dammmmm man, it has firewire mlan on it? :shock: That's crazy, these companies man are on some shizzle lol Oh I told dudes not to mess with the MPC1000, you don't even travel with that lol Akai messedup with that one that's why they came back with the killa, MPC2500 that joint looks mean. If I was on a plane I would get that hook itup to the laptop and go BANANAS lol The way it look had me starring at it i was in a trance lol I was like Wow this is crazy. Oh so you thinking about getting Cubase? I have it, but I only use it for the sounds in it, those are hot I use Protools for my recording it's off the hook I wouldn't even tell you to get that lol cause you just want a program so you can sequence so I won't go into that. Is Cubase SX easier than Project five or Sonar, or Logic 7? Oh well let me take Logic off cause it takes forever to learn that thing, Protools I was recording in 30 minutes. yeah you are in 24 bit rate yeah you shooting straight fyah lol [/img]

yup. i had to touch up on some solder joints and its good as new. it only came with a piano disc, but i bought it to sample my own sounds anyway. for the price, its a good deal even just to use it as midi controller.

Yea mLan adds lot of flexibility in transfering audio and midi between the motif and DAW, not mentioning the fact that motif turns into complete control surface for cubase and every button on the board has a funcion assigned to it . I have cubase SX and messed with it for little bit cuz that's what yamaha recommends to use with their workstations since steinberg and yamaha merged couple of years ago. But honestly Im trying to avoid using computer for making music as much as possible. When was on the market for a workstations narrowed down to triton and motif es. Both are nice but it seems like everyone has a triton, motif's es has more realistic orchiestral sounds and triton is more on synth side...On the other hand I wouldnt mind a trinity board :), that thing has some pretty damn good sounds.
Never messed with project five but Sonar and Cubase are pretty much the same thing, if you know cubase then you know sonar and vice versa. I wouldnt say cubase is the easiest software and it has its steep learning curve, but the way I look at it is "no pain no game" :) right ? Never used Logic since it's MAC version of cubase or sonar and I dont own IMac computer, but from I read and heared it's similar to both. I been hearing lot bout protools and thought of checking it out, but never actually got around it. Lotta people using protools so I'm assuming it gotta be a good program.

If you interested more in what type of beast motif turns into with mLan expansion you can check keyfax's video clip

:shock: ? I dont 'make' any sounds really. theyre all sampled from records or other keyboards.
