I have my MPC Sample for 2 weeks now and I love it!
I upgraded it with the big knob, larger Micro SD card and a new Transformers G1 skin.
The big knob is a game changer! Making scrolling so much easier and quicker.
My goal was to spend more time away from my desktop pc setup and just chill and challenge myself to be creative in a different way.
I just received my MPC Sample today. I only had a MPC 2000XL back in the days. And this is exactly what I hoped for. A smaller, up to date old school MPC.
I use Logic as my DAW for everything else. But the Sample is already great for chilling and sampling while sitting in the garden with my headphones on.
I also found it fairly intuitive. Still hoping for a little more features I’m missing out on. Things like:
- Better EQ options
- Pad and Knob FX per pad or sequence
- Master bus mix options
- More than max 16 chops
- Options for separate layers
But we’ll see what happens. For what it already does, it’s a great device and a lot of fun.
