It's seems to be a bit slow and took me a couple times to get it to download. But now to get reading...

Well, thanks for the insight guys! In the end it looks as though I'll be getting a used MPC1000. I found one real close to where I live for a really good price. I already have a hard drive and RAM that I can throw in it and it's the newer black style and supposedly has the new pads. My thought is if ...

ok then how much of the file name does it read to put into alphabetical order?

Most hardware equipment seems to see only 8 char or so. I'll assume that for a second. Then how would files: aaaaaaaa2.wav and aaaaaaaa1.wav(purposely show with 9char for example) be handled? Or would this error on ...

That's not so good.

Still investigating a 404. Reading over the manual for the 404 and have a question about importing samples from the Cf card.

The manual goes through the process but where I am unclear is this: If I have a lot of samples on the card can I audition each one before I assign it to a pad? If I have a ...

I'm still pretty torn, but the electribe tandem thing sounds interesting.

This morning I was all set to get a mpc1000, but the more I read the more I think the sp555 might be the ticket especially for the loop capture aspect which would allow me to plug my guitar in direct and loop that and then ...

I'll admit I am a bit anal on being organized. I am finding it a pain to keep all my samples and loops that I use on my computer in check. How do you guys do it? Do you group by instrument, style, tempo, manufacturer(in case of purchased loops), one hits, etc.

As I anticipate getting a hardware ...

Do these work? Overstock had 2 for $25 bux. As 1GB is getting hard to find I'd figure I'd pick some up.

just looked up a vid on youtube on the swing feature for the mpc and I like how one can define the swing to be earlier or later on the beat and not just by a %. Cool feature but not sure if that's a show stopper for me.

Ok, is the mpc swing function the same idea as the sr16?

I have access to a LOT of drums sounds. I bought a bunch of beta monkey discs and I have a bunch of other stuff on computer. At least 20+ GB of drums and samples. Have to being a solo guy. Also have two friends who would let me record some hits off their sets. My H2 will be perfect for that. Thing ...

Currently I am getting sick and tired of computer recording strictly and am going more the hardware route. I purchased a Zoom HD8CD for my recording needs, which is great. It also contains a drum machine that I can load samples into but it has very few options. I also have an old SR16, but the ...
