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!
