    need help with akai mpd 32

    its quite easy. just do not mix up a midi-device with a sampler. a midi device (like MPD32) controlls other stuff. it does not "sample". you sample with your computer and controll it with the mpd32. you have software installed (like this one http://www.modernbeats.com/images/battery_main.jpg) on...

    I have been offered an MPC 2000 XL for $900 Australian.

    how much is that in euro? do not get the mpc1000, my flatmate had one for 2 years and the pads are a pain in the ass. they break every now and then and you have to send it to akai. repair takes about a month. plus the feeling of the pads is not comparable to that of other mpcs. they even offer...
