you can get loads for a grand. any good lappy of 2 gig or more will do ya, and a nice soundcard.
Mpc2000 is just a bunch of processors so you might as well get 2 laptops.
Problem with all that hardware is you cut your chances of gigs abroad, cos the promoters can`t afford to pay for all the extra baggage.
You ordered a 909
Why?
they suck
loads of money for about 8 sounds that have been raped.
Go for an airbase or something.
