Everything has been said ...
c'set great for rhythm and a box of samples, has more than enough

UTILIZATION

The squenceur is great, the control of synths / samplers midi is impeccable
"Rock solid timing"
the machine is most effective for slow time, his swing is panthon groove hip-hop ..
... Less extreme and surprising than that of a sp (still need to know how to use you it ..), but more flexible and much more complete
use is comfortable, there are qq year I had a 2000, most successful (videmment..) at the bones and features .. edition graphics in the form of wave, very successful track mute, time stretch, compatibilitetc, etc. .. 3000 is the easiest .. Obviously very effective but less growth.
but for drums and squence, one is near perfect, and bumps on it is a pleasure

SOUNDS

The question is:
the sound of this machine is it as strong as its ergonomics?
the rponse is no.
sound, although that of a suprieur 200O (no polmique .. the sound is a little duller, more dynamic (a little ..), better in fact ..) is not to jump out the window;
one feels about the same in samples taken his two conversions in the mouth: the sound comes out lightweight compressun more dynamic, but (because?) it loses thickness, bandwidth morfler at the bottom, the 3000's a little clip ..
no more "magic" than 3000 s, .. the rest is pure handjob.
the strength of this machine is its concept gnial, ergonomics, its groove, and the capacity it aa to be forgotten, its stability ... in terms of sound is much better than many things, but of its spend to make them sound pter should stop the bullshit ... it's not an emulator or III or a mirage .. 440 (I speak from experience ..)

OVERALL OPINION

The mpc is a concept gnial, the 3000 is a fabulous instrument, whose sound does not serve the concept, but is not the ultimate strength
For sound I prfere my EIII, 440, SP12, emax1, S950, asr10, Korg Oasys (stereo ...), but s760 ...
but let's be clear: I will pass more easily from one or more of those this that the extraordinary comfort and working concept of this machine ..
if only it had the sound of my EIII ...
