4 live work I think the MPC is hard 2 beat!
Also the shuffle on it is rather nice. I think the major down is little memory (max 32mb), using the filters (or any other synth capabilities) is also a little tricky...
My take on this is .. sample and edit samples on a pc/ mac then get it 2 a ZIP, connect 2 the mpc and let it rip!! :)
This a machine that really helpz ya get the groove going, I've donne a few things 4 Djax with it ... it is slammin' 4 drum workz and seq. ...
check the xl version 'cause the little extras really pay at live work...
