«  The brain of the band »

Everything is there!
The MPC 2500 is a complete production station.
Eight separate audio outputs.
2 MIDI IN, OUT 4.
You can control your entire home studio with this bike.
Much more pleasant to use than a computer (well, well, here it is only my opinion).

The MPC sequencer proven.
I, on mine, the JJOS XL, and frankly, it's just perfect!

I also strongly advise the purchase of additional memory and why not, an internal hard drive.

UTILIZATION

The use of MPC is never easy.
It can do so many things that is quickly lost in all the options.
The value of 2500 is that it is more pleasant to use than 1000 or, worse, a 500.

So there are several levels of use of MPC.
To make a beat is just perfect!
The pads are damn good.
And to production, it will try different working methods before finding the right workflow.

The thing is that the MPC will fit your way of working. You will spend more time to know how you want to work.

SOUNDS

Sounds are those that are returned.
Management sampling is excellent. Do not forget that the basic GPA is mostly a sampler.
On one branch external source, we will record, cut, assigning the pads, and hop on cheek.

It's very fun, very nice.
Have fun!
But once you start to put it all sample and play with.
It quickly becomes acros!

OVERALL OPINION

I use my MPC for a little over a year.
I had read and seen many tutorial before I buy it.
So I quickly understood the philosophy of the stupid. In addition, my experience in software Tracker helped me to understand many things.

My MPC is the brain of my home studio.
It controls my 2 MIDI synthesizers (a Ultranova and NORDWAVE). If necessary, I resample sounds directly into the machine (without loss of quality).
It also controls my Analog Four freshly arrived in my set.
It is on this that I finalize my mix (using the seq and the next track mute).

Anyway, I never regret my purchase.

The only fault that can find him is the short length of component life.
I had to change my pad sensor. Me and some buttons are more lacking.
She is very strong in her dress of black metal, but I have a feeling that time is still against it, and especially against its electronic component.
