mpc2000 VS mpc3000 (with sp12T)

This is kinda a continuation off of my other thread...

So basically I just bought an sp12 turbo for my drums, but I'm still unsure whether to use the mpc3000 or 2000 for my main sequencer and sampler. I already know the 2000 interface and can get around easily, but the sound is a little thin. The 3000 (as I have heard it) has more low end and colors the sound better. However, I'm kinda afraid of the old-school interface and way of doing things.

ANy suggestions?!

P.S.-these are my only two choices ( I'm not interested in the newer mpcs or the 60)

Have you checked out the 3.50 OS?

Looks pretty up to date if you ask me.

having two seq/sampler machines for one beat? a rack sampler is alot more in depth then the samplers in the 2k/3k. why dont you try using the sp as your sequencer. get a rack sampler.
or get a mpc and a emax for drums. which mpc dont really matter. i personally think the mpc2000 is a big piece of shit os wise sampler wise seq wise reliability wise. but ive been a 3k user for a long time.

What DFACE said. Get yourself a S950, probably the best rack sampler out there !

but how is sequencing on the sp. I've heard it's pretty easy, but not as good as the mpc. True?

sp isnt hard to sequence wiht. step edit is dope
if you sequence synths its not gonna work tho
Jedi Mind

aight...I think I'll try the rack/sp combo.

Any suggestions for the rack?

s900/950
emax

?

the best rack sampler in my opinion and many other users here is the s950. s900 is cool but its a third of the sampling time and no timestretch. if you can afford it go for maxed 950. emax is also a good sampler. i dont like it as much as the 950 but the filters are analog and sound dope and the sampler sounds dope. i like the os on the 950 better. its alot easier to do many things. either sampler you wont be dissapointed.

I'm a go with the s950. Thanks for all the help!
