i really don't know wich one i should get?

i'm real new when it comes to mpc's and i've read some posts on this forum but i can't make up my mind. and the problem for me is that i don't understand the specifics about the machines, for me it's like chineese :oops: .. I've experimented with reason back and forth for about a year now to learn how to make beats and i have no former knowledge of music production, but i'm statisfied with how i've evolved so i'm feeling ready for an mpc (http://www.myspace.com/beatsandtattoos)

but the case is that i have two options at the moment and i'm really eager after 4 months saving cash

the first one is this MPC2000XL LE (http://www.blocket.se/vi/11091396.htm?ca=10_s)
the thing is that the colors **** enoys the shit out of me, that's maybe kinda dumb but i can't help it.. i wan't my mpc to be grey. and the price is a bit expensive too 6500KR (907$), plus the guy lives in another town. but on the other hand people on this forum has talked really good about the 2000XL

the 2000XL LE comes with a floppydrive, 32 ram, 8 out


the other one is a MPC2000 CLASSIC (almost box fresh)
it's quite cheap 4500KR (628$), it's grey and the guy selling it to me lives in stockholm too so i can meet him face to face

the 2000 comes with seperate outs, extra memory, SCSI and almost untouched + the guy offered me his old zipdrive(not knowing it'l work)




i really appriciate all the help i can get!
i'm afraid that i'm going to start spending the cash i've put away if i'll wait any longer haha :lol:


greetings from stockolm! [/url]

2000xl utan tvekan! (im born and raised in sweden if ur wondering how i know the language) :lol:

haha but seriously the XL is an upgrade to the 2000, so it has some better qualities. I dont think the 2000 can do anything that the XL cant.

having that said i dont think the upgrades on the XL are enormously different to the 2000 classic

and the classic is cheaper and the you said u didnt like the colour of the XL.

so go for what ur willing to pay for

and also check this site out http://www.mpc2000xl.com/summary.htm

its a comparison between the XL and the classic. Good luck

haha tack kompis! kul med en till svensk på forumet :)!

hmm i've changed my mind now.. i'll just wait for the right time, just can't stand that orange thing and why buy a mpc that's not as good when i can afford the newer one?

if someone lives in sweden or a nearby country and willing to sell one, don't hesitate to send me a pm!!

thx for the help!

Get the 2kxl, change the floppy or zip to mcd.

Can't easily do that with 2k.
