That's the difference between mpc1/2k and the topmodels like MV8000/MPC4k, one can be a DAW or core in your daw, the other is a DAW (for the noobs, digital audio workstation).This is an MPC2000XL with Blue MCD Casing and Black MCD front panel. They both probably have it all, but if you're using a pc you have 2 daw's ? I dont know which one is better since I dont have a purpose for it, I'd just have more s/w fx and dynamics which I'd rather not use, multitracking options to disk, VGA out and Mouse, good sample editing/slicing, midi writing capabilities, midi functions and mixer. MV8000 is like the ultra advanced MPC, in fact, it a competitor to the 4K. I believe the key to this machine is simplicity, no fancy stuff just midi and a S2000 sampler, nothing special actually besides good pades and a tight-as-fuck sequencer. Or complete produce complete tracks on it with edited samples from pc, livesets with other midigear due to 32chnls(techno/elektro, I got rack for that shit). Hook it up to any vst wrapper/loader and hotwire the shit to vst's and screw the software sampler, you pull that one on a emu card and you got youself an mpc with SP1200 sound. MPC is a universal tool, there loads what you can do with it, even controlling discolights and vj software, dimmerpack dmx the lot.It just as how silly you want it to handle, I use it as tape player/recorder to midi gear.I sit behind a masterboard somewhere or a clavinova, hit the metronome and start prssing record. Just take your time and figure out what YOU need.Īlso everything you stated about the two machines was correct except for the MPC crashing part. Whereas at this point and time my computer is the tool that I use for editing etc. You may be far more advanced in production than I am and can find a use for all of the MV8000's options.
The MV8000 has alot of stuff on it that I would never even use so why waste the money? That's just MY opinion bro'. It also does everything that I need it to do before sending my beats to be polished in my computer. I myself own a MPC2000XL maxxed out and it has never crashed on me. If that is not your goal then save your loot and get the MPC. If you want to take your beats from start to finished cd in one box then go with the MV. You really have to sit down and think about what you want to do with the machine. MV8000 was made to compete with the MPC4000, not the 2000XL. We just recently had a big discussion / comparison thread about these two machines.
