Superb sequencer (the best for hip hop beats), super sampler, no effect on the 2000 I, the effects are added with a card but the interest is not.
There is a small program (MPC editor for PC) which is good for the cre Programs and to assign sounds to the pads.
The Mpc 2000 possde of origin:
-16 + 4 MB or 32 MB
Two-input jack (left / right)
Two-output jack (left / right) (except of course if it spares the 8 outputs)
One-headphone
In twelve o'clock -2
-2 Midi out
SCSI-taking (for a zip disk or scsi)
Disk-drive

UTILIZATION

Easier to use is not! in 1 hour there is a way to make hip hop beats sick.
of the incremented seqenceur is really great.
Are several functions with the pads that are excellent (decay, note var, attack, filter, tuning) in no time stretching against o (
The original manual is clear if we make the prod. long time and it is bilingual.
Apparently there is a manual in French. Pdf for the MPC 2000 but I have never found a ducoup I rcupr Manual MPC 2000 XL Franais (the same detail three things prs)

SOUNDS

The sound is warm (it will say more oldskool analog sound)
An example you put the same sounds in Fruityloops style sequencer and the same sounds in the MPC = MPC In adfonce, Pete, grain is superb.
The sound is clear and powerful raliste.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, but no doubt it is used by the largest producer of rap Annes 90/2000 (Premier, Pete Rock, etc ...) is the sound I'm looking for!
This machine is convenient and inexpensive opportunity to (personal I pay 400 euro)
What I like most is the quality and power of sound, sequencer, and the incremented pads.
What I like least is the floppy drive (long live the zip)
At this price I will make the same choice without asking any questions!

If you make hip hop instrumentals c have a MACHINE.
