if you have only used a computer to make music you just don't even know the power of something that you can sit with on your lap and truly interface with and make music with.

i also use logic and it is nowhere as intimate as an mpc.


i'm going to quote you on this elsewhere
excellent point. i agree so much.
there's a lot to be said about looking at a small screen (maybe not AS small as the 500 but you know what i mean) as opposed to a massive dual monitor monster software app...



Yeah this is exact reason I'm getting 500.
I'm really interested in this hardware experience.
can't wait for mine to be shipped. =)

hopefully better than the last one, literally had a usb hub EXPLODE during soundcheck.


How are MPCs used in live performances?
Is it for DJing in electronica music set up?
I wonder how it can be used live in hiphop live shows.
