Thanks for the info there Psy. Good to know it doesn't slow that you have noticed.
Actually all your info leads to me another question: If you have multiple samples layered on one pad, do the filters/FX effect the whole pad (all the samples), or can you modify them independently? I am building programs in the software editor I have at the moment, and this will change my process on some of programs.

Yeah, I know what you are saying. I have one on order, so it won't be long before I get a hands-on.
I have used a few of the older gen MPCs a while back, and they were just plain fun! I never thought about getting one until recently though, as they just didn't give me more than my current hardware samplers/sequencer setup. But now they're cheap and the OSs are stable, it's a good time to buy I reckon.

I have been slicing through a few sample CDs the past week, and already have a few hundred meg worth single hit beats and bass.

Hey do have a hard-disk in your's? I got the adapter, but not sure how stable a HD would be when bashing those pads.
