Just copped a MPC 2500???

[thanoblepimp]

I just bought a MPC 2500 a Friday and my boy who is a DJ/producer who has the MP16 says its not worth it and that I should have just gotten the MPC 1000 because its cheaper and does the same things? What do yall think???

how much did you spend?

[Bu K]

how many q links does the 1000 have? how many does yours have?

how many outputs at the back dos the 1000? how many does yours have?

i rest my case without even disagreeing that they do the same thing.

im enjoying my 2500. check out www.mpc-forums.com but beware the majority of the community there are terribley snobby: i was threatened to be banned for admitting to using cracked software.lame.there is a wealth of knowledge there tho.

I paid about 2 stax brand new with the cd drive and a warranty from Guitar Center. Also how do you save your samples from records on to the hard drive or flash disk with out deleting other stuff. And also how much internal memory do they have?

yeah the specs are mostly the same, and so is the OS, except for a few added features i.e. grid edit, etc. but youre better off with the 2500 for the 8 outs, durability, and quality of the pads

[thanoblepimp]

forget the 32mb card, its piss

ebay yourself a 4gig apple microdrive used for ipod minis. get one of these and remove the tape and thing called a molex at the top and you have yourself a bumper CF card.

go into the load menu. select the A.LOAD. turn it all the way to OFF. this will stop all those annoying projects annoying you when you start up.

if you want to save something, highlight the folder you want to save it in or the root folder and hit DO IT. to look inside a folder, highlight it and press the > cursor button.


the manual is your best friend, trust me.

peace.
