...didn't know that there is a new mpc on it's way... do you think the new features are useful? How many bucks do they want for that machine?

i think it's gonna be pretty expensive.
the onboard synth is an interesting idea, not sure if it's necessary though


there was some discussion about it here:
viewtopic.php?t=1346

its on www.guitarcenter.com going for 2600 i think. itsgotsome crazy features but youll prob find more on their site

i think the synth is based on the alesis fusion which is supposed to be OK.
tbh i don't know what the fusion is like tho. i would have preferred them to have included on on-board DRUM MACHINE. i mean the 5000 is still i phrase sampler for jesus sake.
