Thanks for the real world heads up.

I nearly spunked half the money of a MD on this… think I will stick to the MPC500 to accomplish what I am wanting.

cheers

Trade up to an MPC1000 (which won’t cost too much) and install JJOS on it. first version is free, full version is about $100. You should be able to get $200 for your MPC500 and you can easily pick up an MPC1000 for $3-400.

I remember being down at the Best Buy waiting for it to open to cop this thing, that was the best day of my ownership…

captain8 · 2022-02-18T19:35:51.377Z

lol that Is the audio pilz review I just posted above you…

I always thought that channel was called bad gear

Leptic · 2022-02-18T20:52:16.423Z

got one, love it

mindexpansionpuzzles · 2022-02-18T21:04:48.292Z

What he reviews is generally considered bad gear but he proves it’s not the gear but its the musician that shines.

captain8 · 2022-02-18T21:23:24.103Z

yayuuuh

Well, the name it self sounds like what a girlfriend might call your sampler. ‘Oh, that’s his beat thang.’ So clearly they didn’t take it seriously either.

Leptic · 2022-02-19T21:17:49.281Z

haters gonna hate, that’s the circle of the life

Claid · 2022-02-19T23:19:49.654Z

Bearing in mind the guys who dreamed this thing (thang?) up call themselves the ‘Beat Kangz’. Setting the bar pretty low right there.

One artist I favor, Jazzspoon, uses one on a lot of his work. Swears by it.

Ryokogogo · 2022-02-20T00:25:14.778Z

Absolutely no. I remember seeing a first gen model, back in like 2009, of that thing when I was in the air force. A dude who was part of my squadron asked me to help him write some hip hop and he pulled that crazy ass thing out. It was impossible to use and everything that came out of it sounded so downsampled it was hilarious.

captain8 · 2022-02-20T04:54:48.344Z

actually the zoom drum machine the Beat kangz made the samples for is pretty fresh

obscurerobot · 2022-02-20T05:10:15.863Z

This one?

pselodux · 2022-02-20T05:27:57.360Z
