UTILIZATION

The concept sampler / sequencer most successful, this machine is a model of its kind, and apart from the mpc 4000, no machine (kind of) n is more complete ...
use very simple and very intuitive, with a bone which is the best of the series.

SOUNDS

The sound of this machine is not n type, the sound is faithful to the source, but with a range mdium a bit forward as often in akai.
ok, ok, sounded a little less that a 3000, which, itself, one that sounds less emulatorIII etc, etc ... But compare a sampler sampler Ensoniq akai e-mu, c is somewhat like comparing a fender gibson one, ssl or neve, a tube is a tube regardless of the instrument used to do and a piece of shit Fairlight and Synclavier will always be a piece of shit ..;
c is the music that we need to focus, and the mpc 2000 is a machine that will help you there, and that does not detract from what you put into it .. Those critics are not too credible, it is the same waiting for their equipment that gives them the intention and attitude to music that they try to .. Kurt Cobain was ringing guitar No matter what, because people n not hear "the sound" but the intention and energy that s DGIG ...
The mpc 2000 sounds good and it will never betray the samples you put in!

OVERALL OPINION
