Being different is mos def my behind my interest in this piece.
Also the fact that it uses samples to create models sounded very interesting to me.
But no doubt that thing is crazy expensive...

The ORIGINAL WHITE 2500LE CASING will be going on EBAY in the next day or two For all those that may be interested, look out for it! As a matter of fact I will post it here FIRST!


Man that 2500LE looks spiffy clean and nice too !!! Also your setup looks dope too. I prefer the black over the white casing. BTW, is there a difference between the regular 2500 and the 2500 LE of features ??

Yeah, the difference is that the LE comes with DVD drive installed and memory expanded.

Plus the 80g Hard drive, and the cosmetics (White casing, Black buttons and Knobs, The Imitation carbon fiber side and front panels) That's about it.
As far as features, NO. Features are all in the OS

The desk you refer to is in fact a model produced by QUIKLOCK which is sweet looking as you suggest. There is a Jerker in the photo, barely visible to the left. ???

You mean to tell me that you have three MPC's (Do you actually use them all). Man, I hope you have clients that keep you busy to help pay that stuff off, :shock: I am DROOLING over the OASYS. NICE SET-UP!
Reminds me of J.R.'s set-up.

Yes it is, I regret waiting so long to get one. I was a VESTAX JUNKIE for VESTAX JUNK, Vestax is decent but it is not PIONEER QUALITY nowhere near. For anyone that is in the market for a DJ MIXER grab the DJM-909 you will not be dissapointed. I'm thinking of getting another one after the 1st of the year. PIONEERS mixers are the best, The CDJ's should be laid to rest. PEEEEAAAACCEEEEE!!!!!!!

Hell noo.. My partner worked for a music store. Those photos are form different stages. IMO, that would be insane to own that many MPCs. We traded a MPC 4000, Nord Lead 3 and a 88 key Triton Studio for the Oasys. Later traded a MPC 4000 for the 2500. Big mistake!!!! So we took that back and got the 5000. Its' so much better.. Although, massive amounts of gear gets very technical when creating and energy consuming. Got overwhelming, so the studio has been down sized. No need for all that gear now a days. One partner only uses headphones, a laptop with logic and a midi board. I tried it but, I'm still not a fan of soft synths. Some things they just cant mimic.

"Since I'm in a grown man stage, no more gear hunting for me. I really hate getting new gear. Use what you got, make it work or pay someone to bring the best out your work. If all else fells, u have accepted failure."

Anyway I have a few friends doing very well in the entertainment business. I remember making beats in the basement, so much has changed. ???
