jjeaaaahh boweeeeeeee
i be liking this beast. i never used an mpc before but after the first night of stumbling and another days practise i seem to have got the hang of this thing....
i've been using tracker/mod/xm programs since the days of atari s.t so the trasition wasn't that hard
so far i like these features...
note repeat(dope for snare/kick rolls and also good for percussion)
grid edit(perfect for adjusting them drums a touch)
mute targets/mute groups (non destructive chopping)
swing!!!

i need to get a usb lead to plug it in my computer(no upgraded mine yet with hard drive/memory/operating system either cos i'm skint) then i'll be able to edit vocal samples proper cos this thing got no inbuilt delay/echo.

my first attempt at making a full beat on this thing is at the top of my myspace player so check it if yuo totally bored

thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum...
i read your posts for like ten days before i got this thing so i knew what to expect and learnt a few tricks along teh way.
even it's abstract saving methods aren't pissing me off

all yuo peoples whining about the machine are bitches
get making them beats :twisted:

In case you didn't notice, there is a Delay effect. You can only select it in FX2 however.


Peace,
Stilo.
