Re: Machinedrum & Akai mpc-1000 question

2004-02-05 by dasj05

I got both, and I can“t live without them. But my advice is. If you 
like hip hop style beats go with the mpc. Then you will have more 
options when making "realistic" beats. 

The MD is the best drumsynthiziser ther is, and the MPC is the best 
drumsampler there is. The MPC can be more realistic, but the MD can 
tweak you in to space. 

I dont know if that helps you. But that is my opinion;)
