I am a Maschine owner, but the MPC has a special place in my heart. When I first started making beats, the MPC is the only thing that I wanted. I still use it though. Enjoy the video.
Just can't give up MPC because of Maschine

Well that Maschine is so powerful, I'm suprised you haven't found a place for it yet. What do you use?

different workflows give different outcomes, with the mpc you have put down more effort and that why some people still care for the mpc.

When you live on a peace of gear hours a day, for years and create a bunch of stuff on it. You become a bit attached. Its kinda cool. Maschine is faster and easier to use, but there totally is something special about those old mpc's!

Hmm, in a way i dont consider it a slower workflow, i have the 2kxl in thru mode between outboard and logic and i could control everything midi with just the mpc dial, simple, fast and intuitive.
The effort part is making libraries in advance, disregarding the itb approach, the only difference there is when the track is done its need to print into logic.
People like chopshop, its not so hard to figure out why and thats why machine is so popular.
Yet all the phrase sampling i do is done by hand. Always done it that way and i'd say that 95% of the time its done when im not making a track.
If i want to chopshop whilst or starting a new project then i'd use flex mode in logic or fl slicer something, works just as fast imo.
On occasion ill fire up recycle to cut up a drumloop fast, rex format for daw or import the files + midi to mpceditor.
All in all, you barely spend a lot of time doing any of these steps in your workflow.

oh totally, as a sequencer the MPC2kxl is fast as shit, its AWESOME in fact. But to chop samples on? Just stab me in the eye and get it over with!

yeah as with pretty much all hardware samplers except sp and akai s612, i hardly ever chop on the mpc and there are better a/d's then the mpc2kxl. Plenty of reasons not to chop on the mpc hehe
