by BD from Chicago, February 07, 2007
Music Background: Semi-Pro musicians and have demanding day job.
“I have 7 sound modules/Synths, and several effects, but still end up using some samples and it works great. I thought it would be a lot harder to use, but it's not, it's simple and powerful.

"WHOOOO! I really don't need to say any more, but I will. The best of everything from the 2000 and 1000 then adds the chop shop and mixer automation. Better warn your significant other that you will be in the lab for a little while..."

"You've done the research. The MPC is the reason drum 'n bass, jungle, and hardcore exist today. It has served as the melting pot of many styles of music sampled from records, synths and drum machines for 20 years. Whether you're a hardware junkie or a software musician dying to get your hands on a real piece of gear, drop the cash and start dropping beats with the MPC."
