you'll never understand until you try it... 3k's sound better and are way easier and fun to use. Not to mention more stable (OS wise) built with MUCH higher quality internal and external components, and to be superficial about it, they look a hell of alot better. 2k's are not better, just cheaper. Cheaper says it all. Cheaper built. Cheaper sounding, and cheaper feeling.

Pretty cool drum machine/sequencer (I have the MPC3000LE), however, my old Sequential Circuts Studio 440 kicks the living-shit out of it! No kidding! Pure Sequential analog fiters on every voice + extensive editing/looping ability. I'd give the MPC3000 a solid 5.5/10, and the 440 a 9.5/10. If you MPC3000 users ever find a 440, use it, and you'll never look at a 3000 the same way again. The 3000 will feel like a huge step down.

I still have and use an original MPC3000 ( since they first came out in 95), and mine stays on 90 percent of the time . It does get a little hot but not exceptionally. I've never had any problem with it with the exception of loose screws internally and now the screen is beginning to fade. My biggest problem , even though it's my favorite piece of gear ever, is with Akai and the fact they stopped supporting the 3000 ,even with O.S. upgrades (even though they released the LE version, still same old O.S. from 6 years ago). Also they never saw fit to make it truly interfacable with computers. I should also add that I sell ( and push MPC's ) everyday. I also owned a MPC60 before and own a MPC2000XL now too. Talk to ya , Ron G.

Thank you so much Roger Linn for this perfect Machine you have made for us. Since the first time I discover the MPC, I never want to use another drum machine in the world, and I realy love it. 1st it was the MPC 60,MPC 60 II, and now I own the MPC 3000. the only sugestion I have is how to make the MPC work directly with a PC or MAC, to be able to save or load or do anything combine with a PC or MAC computer. For exemple using the SCSI to hook in any device related with acomputer. My GOD that will be great. Thanks again.
