Even Akai admit MPCs are overpriced!!

"The MPC2000XL inherits many of the major features of the original MPC such as the legendary “fee”' and “groove”so that you can be sure that your beats and sequences just swing.

talk about a "freudian slip" good catch jellyjim.

Thats funny! Sad that exists on a product that has been around for so long, but that is why spell check alone doesn't cut it.

MPCs have always been overpriced, but the best hardware sequencers out there and therefore worth the price to many. Most smaller audio companies that make great products have to charge more simply because they aren't selling them by the boatload like Roland, Korg, etc and have to charge more per unit just to break even. Whatever it takes to keep them in business, you know that has been tough enough for them.
