3 1/2 years, so you have ALOT fo time to download the manual and actually SEE the 8outs and READ about what they are for then don't you?

Have at it. Try my USEFUL link below and you'll find links to all the mpc manuals. Have some patience and read, learn and find out some stuff you are wondering, welcome to the search button, I mean site..

what up dude!

8 outs is for when you want to track your sounds out of the MPC to be mixed individually.

I.E. drums, bass, samples all seperate so you can aplpy effects and eq them seperately. it allows more flexibility with editing.

i have to laugh at "in 3 1/2 years i plan to purchase something"

that is funny!

There's a thread around here about side hustles and some good examples of how to earn some extra dough around your neighborhood, check out that thread and get more clues on what you can do to earn yourself that mpc.

"hopefully by that time MPC's will have at least 16 outs...."
I'm SURE that's possible now but to keep costs down we don't get all that.
Maybe incorporate 2 x adat optical outs in the supposedly new mpc coming out (not trying to start rumors I'm going off from you guys in the forums).

8 outs = 8 outputs

gives you 8 seperate places to output sound from the mpc.
