RE: New MPC2000xl user questions
ohh dude u r picking up mw 1 heh couln't resist hehe.., its a top notch synth man, top built quality, and it can do everything from crystal clear stabs, lush strings, moeving pads, dark, hard, thin, funky twisted experimental whatever, doesn't do a great job at the tipical acustic (pioanos ect) but it can make a unice MW piano/harp/guitar melt which do make out for some great leads if used right, it has 64 basic sounds (basic meaning no fx or arp), its all about how good it sounds, I did a bassline the otherday that made my track jump into oldskool sub terrotory and with a twist of a cutoff and reso I had a blasting hard techno TB'ish sound that makes the tb look like a icecream cone
(*no offance to tb fans, I have atmost respect for the silver box), but what I'm tring to say is that it sounds phooking awsome! I thought my EA sounded good, but the mw puts it to shame everytime,.. but a MW 1 without software editor or hardware controller will b a real bitch to edit, u r used to the matrix system (from your pulse) so it might not b that bad but imo u should look up some HW controllers, I know a dude that has a few access mw programmers in stock but they r rather expensif, a control freak has some syex patches for it and u could use it to controle the mixer in the mpc, drop me a line if u r intrested or if u need any info or help I'll b glad to help out, make sure its at os 2.0 and has all manuals as its an extreamly deep machine... ta
