« A must-have »

Sampler/sequencer/synthesizer, it's a comprehensive machine that can handle a complete production by itself.
Comprehensive and reliable connection options, I plug all my synths into it to sequence them.

I recommend it to people looking for a compact and all-purpose machine!

USE

It couldn't be easier to use!
The mpc feeling and workflow par excellence!
The big, readable screen is a + in relation to other mpcs!

SOUND

It's a sampler, so.................
You input blue and it comes out blue...the converters are very (too?) transparent, it's really faithful to the audio signal all the way to the end.

It has plenty of effects, some of them are good and some others are bad, there's something for everyone.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for 1.5 years and I have never had the slightest problem with it.
It is really sturdy and reliable, no bugs, no problems in terms of connections.

I've had an mpc 3000, an sp 12 turbo and an s950, but I only kept this one!
The workflow of an mpc but with all modern advantages (no diskettes, comfortable screen, internal hard drive, usb, faster loading...... ).

If you are hesitating between a 3000 or a 2000xl, the 5000 doesn't have a particular character, granted, but its modernity will make you quickly forget the pleasure of sampling with its older siblings.
