when we say mpc we only mean sampling?

i really have not understood the mpc use utnil now..is it necessary if you do not sample?if you have already a workstation like korg triton is it necessary?if yes in what way?

An mpc is not necessary to make music.

I can make songs on my Triton Extreme standalone.

I can make music on my ASR10 stand alone.

I choose to use the mpc cause of the pads and EASY
as hell interface, and fun factor involved.

Most of the time, for each and every person, they get a different feeling
with each machine they use. MPC just has a mythical feeling to it that you just can't shake once you've used one, you just have to have one.

It's a beautiful thing!.

that is the thing i do not understand

they do the same thing, one has keys, one has pads...figure out whats best for you....

for beats that require drum n bass,jungle music and some techno which might be better?which might fullfill my requirements better?or id does not have to do with the music style?

it does not have to do w/ music style

what's the advantage of an mpc comparing to a synth?(besides the ad of someone saying he prefers buttons to keys)i mean,a normal mpv has more sounds than a normal synth?

there is no advantage, its simply preference...In fact, if you're comparing to a synth, which I don't understand why that comparison would be made, wait, why would one compare a Midi Production Center to a synthesizer??? I don't see the comarison at all...

I prefer programing on the MPC as apposed to programing on a Keyboard, It's all about what fits your work flow better.

The sequencer alone is just so easy to use as compared to most synths. An MPC should be the heart of your studio making everything else come together. I build my gear up around it. For instance does this piece of new gear compliment it well or not? My mpc just enhances my other equipment to me but thats just my opinion. Or i just might be crazy. In any case there is no comparison until u acually sit down with the triton and mpc standalone. You will have to figure it out for yourself.

I use the MPC in almost every recording. It could be anything from the "click track" to a full blown sequence using samples and anything in between. It's nice to have the ability to go in after a session and add little "accent" parts via the MPC. Mostly I use it as a sequencer and drum sampler. I've got roughly a dozen pieces of MIDI gear controlled by the MPC. Even on a recording with the MPC playing nothing but click, I have it bring up the correct settings on my MIDI outboard effects processors.

As you know the MPC is not the only way to do this, it's just a matter of choice. I sometimes will have to switch between several projects in a day or even in a session. Between automated mixers and the MPC, I can call up a complicated mix, complete with FX in under a minute. Used to be it took so long to bring up a mix I quit working on "personal" projects after work because it was such a hassle.
