I'M A ROOKIE SO TAKE IT EASY

I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS I'M GOING TO KNOCK OFF THAT NEW TRITON EXTREME AND I WAS JUST WONDERING I KNOW THE TRITON HAS A SEQ. ON IT AS WELL AS A MPC BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A MPC. THE BUDGET IS 1500 WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD MPC TO GET. I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF SAMPLING BUT WHO KNOWS I MIGHT BE IN THE FUTURE I JUST NEED AN ALL THE WAY AROUND MPC SAMPLING INCLUDED FOR THAT PRICE RANGE AND WHY SHOULD I GET THAT ONE I WOULD REALLY APPERICATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh...

As you say, you are a rookie so please read the forum rules. i.e.

Don't post the same question in multiple forums
DONT USE CAPS LOCK _ IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING

mp 2kxl with zip drive and 32megs of ram. you can pick it up used for as low as $800 used.or new check prices, not shure about the mp 1000,but check it out .peace......

If you're not a big fan of sampling don't get an MPC. All you do with an MPC is sample. MPC's do not come with their own sounds, except the 1000, and you have no choice but to sample, even if it's sampling the sounds of instruments you already have, or whatever.

If your more "musically" inclined and completely want to make your own tracks go with a triton. They are complete workstations: sampler, sequencer, synthesizer. The Neptunes use Triton. Generally, you can do a lot more with these than with an MPC. The only MPC that can mess with a synthesizer workstation is the 4000, but if you have 1500 bones to work with getting a 4000 is not going to happen, and it's still an MPC with no synthesizer capabilities. It will just allow you to do more with sampling.

The bottom line is that you don't need an MPC to make a beat. A Triton or other workstation will do just fine. You just make the beat using keys instead of pads. If down the line your finding the drums aren't coming out like you want you may want to invest in an MPC later on, or figure out how you can make it work with what you got.

My advice is to go with whatever you feel is going to be best for you, and how you want to make your music.

Thanks guys for helping me out. I guess I will stick with the triton extreme.

Kodine,

Does the Triton Exterme have a lot more sounds then the Classic?

What is the major difference between the the two?

I am wondering since the classic has been used so much did they revamp the sounds and added a whole new sound set.

my suggestion is to rock the triton 1st and see what you can do with it and if the music is dope....buying an mpc won't make it better. esp. since you said you are not that big on sampling.....

Thanks 4 tha love prah. As far as the triton extreme it as brand new sounds as well as the other sounds from the last boards with a vacum tube that gives your sound a more warmth feel but it doesn't have a hard drive(i hate that ) so instead u have to get a flash mem. card to save your beat. Plus it is more cheaper for the 61-key version than me buying the studio version coming with a cd-burner that I don't need. Plus I like the look of the board time for a change. People will compare the extreme to the Roland fantom x or s series i'm stick wit triton

An MPC is more than a sampler, and it has a nice elaborate sequencer but you might not need one, the sequencer on the triton will most likely be sufficient, I have a friend who makes all his stuff on a triton and he seems very happy and content with it.
