Glitchy Drum Sounds?

Hello,
I'm hoping to get a drum machine for myself for christmas. I've played around with Reason's Redrum a lot, and I love it. It's perfect, except for the fact that it's on the computer. I'm trying to get away from my computer cause it usually gets too distracting. This will be my first MPC.. if I do choose to get one.

My drums usually consisted of 909, 808 drums playing a "regular" beat, with high pitched bleeps going over it. I usually just got samples of shakers and hi hats.. etc.. and raised the pitch and lowered the decay.. which gave me these blip sounds. I then put them across the step sequencer to where I liked.

I came across this video of Snareface.. and he does something really similar. He comes on at around 5:10.. And looks like he's using an MPC1000.

I was wondering.. would i be able to create my glitchy samples on the MPC? Or am I better off editing sounds on my computer, then bringing them to the MPC. For example, in the video, he has quick 32nd notes.. If I had a closed hi hat sample (just hitting once), and wanted to make it so that it when I hit a pad, it would do a roll as long as I hold it, would I need to edit it that way on the computer? Or would I be able to do this on the MPC?

I plan on getting an MPC500 or 1000.

Thanks

Get one of these instead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L4iqih6Vzg

I just bought one after years of using an MPC and it really is much more up my street and sounds like it would suit your needs too.

Just a thought - a very good alternative to an MPC

Check out www.elektron.se too

It's a bit on the expensive side. I'm curious..why do you think it's more suited for me rather than the MPC?

The title of the tread! - - This thing is the king of glitchy drum sounds and the sounds can be almost infinately tweaked to suit your needs - With an MPC you are kind of constrained by the samples that you use.

You also said that you have experience with using the Redrum in Reason - this works in a very similar way - so the learning curve wouldn't be so severe - but there will be a learning curve on whatever you choose I suppose.

You also stated that you use more 909 and 808 type drums - this machine gives you access to these sounds and in a similar 'synthesis' manner to the real 909 and 808 machines.

It also takes the need for editing, trimming, saving, looping, chopping samples out of the equation, giving you more time at the machine making music.

This is all just my two pennies worth - but it's sped my flow up unbeleiveably and taken me away from spending hours building programs, trimming, load.....aaaaarrrrghhh!



Anyway - MPCs are good - but i like this better......

But thats just my two cents

If you have an extra $200 or so in your pocket, score a Korg ER-1 electribe, and you can get alot of bleeps and bloops to sample straight from the box. I managed to get a few random R2D2 squiggles from it. I think that's what you're after.....It may seem redundant to own 2 drum machines, but I don't. Especially when they're different...

I look into it a bit more.. seems like an interesting piece, but really expensive. And from what I've seen and read it sounds very, techno/IDM, more dancy music oriented. Though, I'm probably wrong.. do you know of any videos or mp3s of the Machinedrum producing more down tempoish kind of stuff?
