its all a matter of personal preference. i've used both ways and really don't see that much of a difference. its just a completly different chopping process. a lot of people like the mpc for the "sound" u get from it. idk, its all a matter of taste.

If we're talking about on the fly sampling, chopping, slicing, cutting and triggering you're better off using software.

With the recent advancement of software samplers (and recorders) its more evident that traditional hardware sampling, slicing, chopping is less efficient and doesnt match the simplicity of software sampling.

ive owned and mpc 2000, 1000, and 2500 plus i've used FL and reason. I just like the feel of MPCs and playing it like an instrument, making the drum swing in the timing and the sequencer/ track mutes.

currently i track my beats out from an MPC2500 into FL and add the effects + other instruments via rewired reason. so im using all three. attached is an example beat i made using that process.

i got tired of using solely FL and painting in drums with a mouse click...so i got an MPD but wasnt really likin the workflow or the FPC, but thats just personal taste.
i really hope the next line of mpcs update the software side of things in terms of FX and timestretch so i can record sraight from turntable and do everything in the box.

I agree on the feel. To me, its a lot easier to be creative when you are physically pushin the buttens. You just can't get that groove and swing on a computer. Plus the MPC has a trademark sound that I just love. It sounds like you need the JJos. Man, there are WAY more features than the akai os.

I've been a software head for a long time but I bought an MPC1000 to check it out, traded that for an MV8000 then ended up trading that for other stuff. In the process of trying each out I realized a few things that I liked personally.

MPC's, especially the 1k are nice for portability even over a notebook setup because you have to haul other stuff like an audio interface and controller with notebook setups.

The 16 pads seem to invoke more creativity when it comes to chopped samples. Maybe it's just me I dunno.

I spent less time tweaking parameters and more time being creative.

I really liked the effects the MV8000 had to offer. The mpc's were ok but nothing notable.

All in all though I realized that the sampler/sequencer wasn't me. The processing time was just too slow for me and I hated having to load sounds into ram.

i have JJOS version 2 on both MPCs but still, you can't compare the FX or timestretch on an MPC to the FX or timestretch on FL or other programs.

MPC FX are OKAY dont get me wrong but some of the decays and reverbs arent too good, and the timestretch can get really destructive to your chops on an MPC.
I LOVE the bit grunge on the MPC tho.

im glad someone shares my feelings towards pushing pads and being physically active in the music process

I agree, the fx's are limited on the mpc. I'm going to start tracking out into reaper because there is a lot you can do with software. Basically, MPC for sequencing, and software for post production. A lil of both worlds for me.
