I prefer chopping my stuff in recycle then getting my program all set to go in mpc editor. I have an XL but i only find myself chopping with it if what i need is a one hit or the like. for chopping longer samples recycle is great. If you dont use the pc like that then i suppose the xl would be better. but if i was in your position i would stick with your 2k.

they sell sample disk that can be read by all mpc's ,i think the .snd format is an akai standerd format that can be read by most mpc's if not he can use mpc editor!!!

you feel me?

dont hate on the classic because there is new kids on the block!!!

people are going back retro so becareful.

it would be odd that they would make the 1000 and not have it able to be backwards compatible with older mpc's if they did that, that would mean people would haft to get new sound collection's cuz the would not be able to use the old one's from the older mpc's

feel me?

To sell the 2k because you can't auto region on it is crazy.

The 2k is solid and since you're using a computer why not chop and edit waveforms on there.Actually it's faster and will help speed up your production.2k(OG) or xl it's not what you own,it's how you use it.


Peace.

pff... yes it is backward compatible meaning that it reads 2000 pgm's(not every parameter tho) but obviously the opposite is not the same!

get rid of the classic and keep the 8 outs. get the xl and install the 8 outs on that joint. and yes the classic and the xl uses the same 8 outs you dont have to buy another one. made this same transition myself.
