you also get 4 individual outs, plus the main stereo out and optical SPDIF in/out. and two midi outs and one midi in. plus two footswitches jacks.
Here are the possible upgrades:
*CF cards (pay) for storage
*RAM (pay) up to 128 mb (16mb installed will not be used then)
*OS upgrade: get 3.05 from the JJ site (search the forum), this is free and I highly recommend it.
*HD installation kit (pay): if you want to mount an internal hard drive (80Gb max).
*internal HD (pay)
If you use a PC for sample editing, you may want also to consider buying a card reader for your PC to swap samples to and from the CF card. This is highly recommended because connecting the MPC to a PC via a USB cable is definitely cumbersome.

(if you search good) you can get the RAM (256mb) for under $50. and you can get a 100gb hard drive for around $100 but if you can live without everything else, i would get the RAM first.
you also get 4 individual outs, plus the main stereo out and optical SPDIF in/out. and two midi outs and one midi in. - not true, you get 2 midi inplus two footswitches jacks.
Here are the possible upgrades:
*CF cards (pay) for storage
*RAM (pay) up to 128 mb (16mb installed will not be used then) if you buy from computer store, you have to buy 256mb in order to get 128mb
*OS upgrade: get 3.05 from the JJ site (search the forum), this is free and I highly recommend it.
*HD installation kit (pay): if you want to mount an internal hard drive (80Gb max). not true. i'm using 100gb
*internal HD (pay)

Beatmakernutty wrote:with that usb right when you transfer the sound from the cpu do it go to the card and then you load it on the mpc or do it load up right to the mpc .it goes to the card. you still have to load it onto the mpc from the card or hard drive (which ever one you saved it to) the mpc when connected to your computer is just a mass storage device. nothing more, nothing less.
