When Preem took over DND it had a few MPC's in its inventory, some were sold and some were kept no doubt. The SCSI option for the S950 is historically hard to turn up...

I'll post a recent Primo article soon which discusses his current working methods

clever remark.

Does the s950 have the same sound engine as the mpc60?

The 900/950 has the same 16 bit convertors but has an adjustable sampling rate, so it can take you a bit further

Recorded at 16 and converted to 12 bit.. this why the sp is a little more gritty

“I'm really into the Focusrite EQs to widen or close up the sound on a sample,”

Anybody know what Focusrite he is talking about?

Keep in mind this is his live setup , but he only has the midi out connected. In this pick he is only using the 60 as a controller of some other instrument.

Edit that instrument being the s950 right below the 60,.

It's in the list at the bottom 'Software, plug-ins:
Focusrite Red 2-, 4-, 6-band EQ plug-ins'.

NO,

s950 is 12bit 48kHz, when mpc60 is 12/40kHz...
and there's a difference...
when you sample high snares or cymbals - s950 shines:)

that's the reason - s950 sounds a bit better.

actually, i did some research on this ofcors ! and i know the 950 is a 12 bit machine but what i also readed is that its get record/preccesed at 16 bit and then converted to 12 bit digital audio.
im not gonne search for the thing again. if u are for sure then i geus im just wrong ! thanks for the real info bout it then

I don't know about the 950, but although the 60 stores sounds in 12-bit, it's converters are 16-bit.
