UTILIZATION
simple? say it is exactly like driving a car .. at first we thought 30 seconds to find out which pedal press, and later we made blunders handbrake and slaloms on wasteland without thinking. A mpc, the first day (10 years ago for me), it's scary. you say "what is this shit menus, I find it, I put 20 minutes to change the volume of a sample ..." after a few months, you can make a full track in 1 hour.
and we realize that eventually, the interface is really very well thought
SOUNDS
sounds are provided ... Suck enough
anyway the goal is to own samples and sounds.
potato is a huge, dynamic .. sounds.
effects are correct, but without enough to "take effect";
the only thing is that when a sample dépitche it sounds a bit metallic, it changes a little the spectrum.
with bone dd 2XL I access controls to midi cc from a kaosspad ..
eg when I do a filter mounted on the pad, the mpc is an increase of cutoff on a white noize filtered at the same time .. too good!
OVERALL OPINION
10 years! .. I had a blue MPC 1000 for 5 years, I sold 5 years ago because I had gone on ableton, and I used it more too .. and I finally bought a MPC a year ago! it always comes back to the basics!
