is the RS-16x just like a MPC?

Agreed! As I said recently elsewhere, the MPC works because it's workflow doesn't get in your way, allowing you to do YOU. It ain't doing it for you. It's ALWAYS about the user.

in my opinion it's more comfortable to work with hardware equipment it's just the same thought with photographers, digital or film? there is a reason why some photographers choose film over digital.. it's more real, like any hardware over reason. and you concentrate more and do a better job ("take pains", is that it? the english word)

and I also care more about my own hardware, because it's mine not just some downloaded/bought software..
