minimum connection 'output and stereo input) MIDI In and Out

good sequencer, stable
portability
128 mb of ram and plyPhon 32 votes enough to make the old boom bap

UTILIZATION

it is easy to use, suitable for a beginner in my opinion
the manual is well done and if we want to know more there is a book in English on mpc forum detailing all you can do with
lacks a built-in function chop chop (I use the slicer on wavesurgeon computer to compensate for that) although chopper to the ear is not impossible and there are 4 pads, which have functions to help them (play all, play loop , to play, play from)

SOUNDS

the sound is fairly neutral, not its strong point but I find it not bad for a small sampler and a sampler mpc done to the vinyl for the grain!
the pads are velocity sensitive and quality even if there are only 12!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 4 years and it is sturdy, just the cursor that is a little less sensitive than at the beginning
I used the MPC 2000 (XL), the mpc 1000 and Ensoniq asr x pro is that it is less safe to use kiffa Because the surface is less impressive but has any of a high level feature!
j'la see € to 370 in some stores now J'lui not really see the competitors in this price range!
