nothing mainly due to no 60/3000 file support for starters. However a 4000 might be on the cards or at least trying to find one for my mate to upgrade from his 2000XL. He's ready for the next level....

The 2500 is a beast in its own right IMO.

The 4000 is def next level, and i love mine. The 2500 has been cool in past few months though. Im going straight into a neve compressor and eq and its like heaven.

I hated on the 2500, but I have to admit once I gave it the chance I was done with the whole 60/3k thing without a doubt.
True the 4k is some next type sh*t but only if you let it do it's thing and don't try to box it into being just another MPC.
Way I see it the 2500 was designed to give MPC users more features while keeping the more classic MPC workflow, the 4k was designed for people with deep needs and a more expanded workflow.
It's really easy to tell which one is a better fit if you can spend some real time using them.

I'll probably cop a 3500 if it can sample @ the same rate as the 4K and is smaller...to make beats faster so I can sell them

besides that nothing, I've been making some real ill beats on just the 60 so I don't know what more I could want..running my drums through the 160x and soon to get an Avedi EQ

I used a API 550B today.


Im buying 2 and a lunchbox at the weekend and selling the old SSL 383 i picked up bout 6 years ago.

The API is amazing

yeah man, can't wait to get a lunchbox setup...API's are real dope on drums, the pres anyway, haven't played with the EQ's yet

It kills the SSL. The 383 has nice pre's for vocals but the EQ is like a brick wall............just ain't musical.

API is the shit man.


Will be banging all weekend

i dont think anyone lurking on this forum is really looking at the 2500..

I have a 3000 and a 2500, for I need both of them cuz one of them does things the other can't. I'm struggling with data transfer

Same here man.....................I love my 3000 and get a completly different vibe when programming on it..............but also love the speed of the 2500...............

U do have 2 work the low end though.

Just ordered two API 550b which will cure that problem.

Do u have them both linked up?

No, they are not linked up, I work alright on the 2500, it IS quick, but when I'm on the 3000 I can fight an army lol.

Whats a API 550b?

Best EQ for drums ever made.......Loads of cash man. £2200 for two units. That's about 3800.00 Dollars

I checked out the 2500, I liked it, it is a dope machine & looks great.
If you could cram the 3000 inside the 2500, I'd jump for sure.
(now THAT would be a mod!)

I actually almost bought one, cuz its a nice machine & felt pretty solid.
Though I just couldn't see leaving the 3000, and to me there is a serious difference in the sound.

I still may get one, not sure what for, but it's the only newer MPC I'd consider.

I disagree here as I have both.
