The sound quality coming out of this machine is a pleasure to hear, coupled to my S950 I think it will do well The usual functions are they easily accessible?įor my beats is what I need. Like any manual you wonder if it exprés are to take the lead sometimes. If we potash forums, videos, and more if a friend who we needle we started is fast enough to start. I am glad I used this MPC because I churned out some great ideas with it.Įverything has been said again and again I think The price is reaosnable nowadays, you might find one on craigslist for anywhere between 300-600. Overall it's a solid machine for someone who wants to step up from say the MPC 500 or 1000, but can't afford a 5000 or 4000. IT comes with no preset sounds so I can't comment on that, but the filters and effects it has are sufficient enough to get someone started. The pads are GREAT on this MPC and is one of my favorite pad models for the MPC's.

The sound isn't as gritty as say as MPC 60 or 3000, but it still gives it a nice analog sound. The install is also easy as is with all MPC models. The manual is also very straightforward and explains the machine with clarity. The functions are very easy to access as is with all MPC models. The Limited Edition SE 2 and SE 3 also had only aesthetic changes. There were two versions of the SE 1, one with an improved control surface, compatible with growing number of sound libraries and one with aesthetic changes. There were 4 limited edition 2000XL SE MPCs created between 20.

In 20XL-MCD version was released, which features a CompactFlash card reader as standard in place of the floppy drive or Zip drives used in earlier models. The MPC2000XL is similar to the MPC2000 but with many newer features including four independent pad-bank keys, number of samples stored doubled to 256 on the XL, altering sounds to a different bit depth or sampling rate could be accomplished by resampling, time stretch was added along with other features.
