Hi FP. I am strongly considering going with either a MV-8800 or MPC2500. I'm currently leaning towards the MV. My current set-up consists of a Yamaha S90es, and KRK-rp6s. However, I do have a question specifically in regards to the sequencing functionality of the MV and 2500.
1) Does the MV sequencer (not sampler, or effects, etc, but sequencer) compare to a DAW (Cubase,Logic, etc.) Obviously its different.. But does it have everything I need to produce pro quality tracks without having to dump to a daw. If there are any disadvantages, I'd like to know. I do know the VGA screen option is a plus!
2) Also, obviously the MPC 2500 is a great piece. I was wondering if the MPC sequencer can handle other types of genres of music well other than hip-hop, r&B (I'd like to explore reggae, drum'n'bass, scores (movies, video games) I know just the tilt screen is a draw back, in terms of editing. But of course, I can use my ears. But I'm wondering in terms of sequencing functionality does it support other genres accordingly (flexiblity).
3) comparing just the sequencer in the MPC2500 and MV-8800, which of the two, provides the most flexibility, without relying on another program.
* by the way, i don't think there is a difference in timing between these machines in its sequencer so I don't need to be sold there. ("MPC swing...lalala etc) its all on the musician and producer in my eyes.
Thanks!
