The effects on the 2000 are thin garbage and they can't be adjusted realtime. The 3000 has triple tap delay which you can change realtime. Sampling is easier and cleaner(I believe) on the 3000. Use stereo drums on the 2000 and you'll swear it has only 8 voices. The 3000 has 10 DACs, I think the 2000 is splitting time with less(even expanded) They chopped cost somewhere. I'll take a MPC3000 over a MPC2000 any day.

to the invention of the drums, electric guitar

and any other instrument used in recording.

I own two MPC 3000s and one MPC 2000.

The MPC 3000 is a studio MUST. Any one who is

anyone in music production uses the MPC 3000,

From Puff Daddy (3 MPC 3000s) to Babyface

(2 MPC 3000s) to the RZA of Wu Tang (1 MPC 3000)

Although the MPC 2000 has a few good

features, it is no-where near as flexible or /and

"ease of use" of the MPC 3000. If you can find

one (MPC 3000)... buy it !
