poast pr wrote:Haha, after thinking about for like 3 months i finally decided to make the "downgrade". And to me it's the best ever! I sold my 1000 for the price i bought it with, and copped a 2000xl with 8 outs, fxboard and 32mb with cf reader.

I really needed 8 outs and mtc/mmc so this would be the best option for me. I felt the 2500's knobs and must say they don't feel at all like the 2000xl. the 2kxl feels more stable/tuffer.

I copped a s6000 with it. I will only use the mpc to sequence and arrange my beats. And i only load drums in it. The rest i will be doing with the s6000 sampler. So the 32 mb memory isn't to small at all. Cos my biggest FULL beat on the 1000 was like 21 mb!
Yes it's a little bit slower, but like i said, i will be doing the cutting, fx etc on the sampler and mixer. So that's not a problem neighter.

This is no dis the 1000-2500 post, cos i loved the 1000. No bad words about that little monster! But to me it seemed better for my working methods.

So don't hate, i just wanna share my exitement hahaha! peazls :lol: :D :o



Congrats man!!! I just got my MPC2000XL-MCD about 3 months ago and damn I'm lovin' it. Hope you're having as much fun with yours as I am with mine!!!! :D

yeah i just upgraded, from the og 2000 to an xl.
the best decision i've ever made.
now i just need a multicard reader and i'll be straight.
the great thing about the xl is that it reads all the zip disks that i've made beats on.
i have to admit i do miss the og 2000, it was a solid and indestructible machine.
it was big and bulky, i had no fear carrying it around and moving it.
i also liked having the volume knobs on the left side, the vents on the top right corner and the data wheel was dope.

To each his own. Just bang out the beats like were supposed to. Doesnt matter who got what.I mean havent we all learned something? I've been back and forth with equipment for years. you live and learn. That's what were here for.

Peace,
