Product Description

The MPC2000XL - Until You Try It, You Won't Believe It
Say hi to the new MPC2000XL. It's everything you'd expect from an MPC and then some. New features include Next Sequence key, 4 bank keys, Track Mute key, hinged LCD, multi-program playback, device naming, MIDI soft thru, multi-track recording, time stretch, resampling, simultaneous playback of a second sequence, and folder file management.

If you've ever tried to get a computer-based sequencer/sampler system to work the way they're advertised, you'll know exactly what we mean. Whether you're producing drum 'n' bass, sequencing a rack-full of MIDI modules, or performing live, you'll love the all-in-one convenience and ease of use the MPC2000XL gives you.

The MPC2000's unique friendly and intuitive user interface simplifies the expression of your creativity.

"Pro input on MPC2000XL"
Sound: It's ok. The MPC has its own sound character. it is not linear, that is what you sample is not exactly what comes out. Drums sound a little more meaty which is good and the output stage, when driven hard, sound nicely compressed. I like it, you might not. Feature: Out of the box, without the EB-16 FX card, it is really simple. Just a ADSR and a simple filter. The filter is not good for anything but cut hi frequencies, nothing compared to - lets say the EMU filters. The sequencer however is dynamite once you get to understand it! If you know your basic MIDI you will love it, if you don't, well you have to learn. Quality: It breaks down. The jog wheel dies after 1-3 years. The slider dies after 1-3 years. If you drop it it breaks easilly. It has a quite a sturdy casing, but inside it's breaking parts. My MPC 'motherboard' was soliderd in 43 places after a major accident, now it works again (I toured with it for 2 years, then someone dropped a monitor on it - Crash!!). If you use it in your home studio you propably will not have any problems. If you going to use it live and carry it around, get a flight case! Value: It could have been cheaper. I mean I bought a 1997 machine in 2001 and the price was 1997. Meanwhile other machines outperformed for the price, but the MPC is still an MPC. So you pay for the name and for the sequencer... Manufacturer Support: What support? It was practically impossible to get spare parts in nothern Europe. The OS need updates. The whole fkn MPC needs a major update (not just a mpc1000 kid brother) The 4000 is a nice studio centerpeice but nothing to tour, bash studios and play live with. The Wow Factor: It is sexy. Overall: The storage methods on the MPC. ZIP is unreliable. Floppy so much. SCSI is expensive and old tech. We need an MPC 2005 with USB 2.0 and firewire. (The MPC1000 is not enough)
Style of Music: Hip Hop, Drum n Bass, Music for TV commercials and Games
