:lol: @ Fah.U serious man?U say its that addictive?I have been near one to be honest, but everyone is raving bout it.I know J.Wells (west coast producer) uses the MPC3000 as he said in his interview and of course his vinyls.He did the track with Bishop Lamont called Its Bishop.Hot track.
It was my first encouter too that's why I got so excited. I've only spent 1 hour with it so any detailed questions should be directed to the more knowledgeable cats(Nyambz, Phil, Ed) or people who have actually ownwd them.
Yeah, I think we all agree: they are freakin expensive!
The MPC400 is huge, it looks like a computer already.
have you seen this: MPD16

The days of programming drum sequences via a keyboard are gone forever. 16 MPC-spec pressure-and-velocity sensitive drum pads generate Note-On velocity when tapped. In Full-Level mode, the MPD16 produces data with velocity value of 127, regardless of the velocity of the pad tapped and in 16-Level mode it allows you to generate the note velocity in 16 steps with 16 pads. The active pad (note number) is the last pad played just before the 16-Level key was pressed. The Bank key switches between banks 1 and 2 allowing access to 2 separate banks of sounds. The Active key enables the fader which outputs MIDI control changes. The various parameter settings, such as MIDI Note a**ign, MIDI Channel, MIDI Control Change, etc. can be a**igned from the computer via USB.

^^ using this with computer software such as FL Studio and Reason you can get that "mpc feeling" while working with on beats. But although its a quater of the MPC1000, its still not that cheap actually.
