How are you using ur mpc (which sound modules, programs etc)

Just trying to see what Mpc 2500 users are genrally using Im gonna eventually slave my mpc to logic and im also thinking of getting a Yamaha motif keyboard as i think the sounds on it are really nice

I use the Roland XV-5080 and Fantom XR, Yamaha Motif ES rack, and Proteus 2000. In addition to that, I use Battery, Reason, Nuendo, Digital Performer, and Mach 5....

I use my 2500 like this …

midi outs
A) Proteus 2000 midi 1
B) Reason 3.0
C) ASR-10
D) Proteus 2000 midi 2

midi ins
1) Midi keyboard
2) Pro tools

I have 8 port Motu Midi interface which does all me hardware - see sig.
then also have the MPC sync'd to Cubase which has shed loads of Vsts. native Ins set. Uberschall PLP /Vlp etc. Korg collection. steinbergs set.

have a look at the korg triton Le k-board- i was going to get a motif but ended up with a triton. very similar.

I have a Access Indigo 2. That keyboard going in the mpc. Mpc out to the Indigo and to a paia fatman (modded). The fatman is cved to a mini synth. http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/soundlab.html

mpc synced to samplitude.
mpc outs to nordlead2x, moog voyager, juno 106 and jv2080.

Gimme the Omega8 over the lil fatty any day

You do know that you can buy several Lil Fatty's for the price of an Omega 8.

i enjoy it... it sounds pretty cool man... it is my trigger... i bought it a few months before the omega... next to the omega, i def use the omega much more...

i think the phatty is a great piece of analog gear to get you goin... it sounds real which is real important... it sits in a mix well too... for 1400 it's something to hold onto... it's a joy to play and look at... pics don't do it justice

if you want something to compare it to, check out the studio electronics se1x... no keys but that synth produces some sick leads and bass... real analog... and can be had for around the same price...

if yo got some loot... get the omega 8... i had mine customed and i will keep it till i die... 6 voices... it sits in a mix so well it's tuly amazing...

An Omega 8 is 8 monosynths already. In Shane's case you have 6. Amazing product. You can also get a 303 arp2600 or cs80 filters for it.

i feel blessed to have one i just used the hell out of it on 2 remixes and a current single i'm working on... and i haven't figured out all the sick ways to use it's midi implemenation... it does soem really cool shit

I've got my mpc set up like udenjoe.
Mpc2500 mid out to access virus C and back to mpc.
Virus and mpc audio to 01X mixer for tracking to cubase sx.
Mpc audio out 1 to 6 to 01X and 7 and 8 to virus input for filtering.

I've also got an emu e5000 , some soft synths , an electribe er1 another mpc1000 , etc... but somehow i allways go back to just these two pieces.
Drums on mpc and synths on the virus.
The virus can handle everything ,phat bass , leads , FX , strange noizes and you can use 16 patches at the same time.
Combined with the sequencer and the punchy drums from the mpc it's the perfect match.
At least for me it is .
