Sequential circuits samplers

I would have to agree.
If you already have an MPC I'd stay away from the Studio 440.
Sequencing on it is no where near as cool as the MPC, the MPC's 
dominate in that area.
If you want the gritty 440 sound, get an old Prophet or even an Akai 
s950, gritty sound all the way & you keep the MPC power.

The 440's can cause you a lot of headaches as they are very fickle.
Buggy, unreliable & perplexing to operate.
Especially the older ones (non latest OS).

The MPC60 is already a legendary box, thats pretty gritty to begin 
with!

Getting the 2 units to work together will probably prove frustrating, 
I always had probs synching up my 440 to a Roland keyboard.
And the sequncer on it is very robotic.
Just doesn't swing like an MPC or SP !
