MPD24 vs MPC500

[pnut53]

Sup everyone,
I just started producing music and I use Ableton Live to work with. My friend has the 1000 and since I started learning the MPC its hard to approach music the same way I do on a DAW. Since then I was looking into the MPD24 and was wondering is there software like the RS-16x for “windows” that could use the MPD24 to tigger samples drums.. etc
or should I just go with the MPC500 or higher

honestly it dont matter what u got fam jus focus on music n how the methods justify the means. But if u have to go mpc get a 2000xl used or cop he 1000 cuz 800 bills for a 500 is a rippoff

 

[pnut53]

thnx...for the reply
thats tru the mpc500 cost a little too much for something that has less features then the 1000
and its only like 200 less, but I was wondering if I could achieve the samething with using the MPD24 with software like RS-16X. The only prob is that I dont got a mac and was looking for software like that for the PC.

im pretty sure the mpd works with both reason and fl studio

I havent used either programs, but I'm wondering if I can at least achieve the samething as using the MPC somewhat

ya you can /\/\/\/\ nn-xt/dr.rex/redrum <--- prolly more im missing.... correct if im wrong also fruity loops comes with a built in fruity pad with 16 pads..... and you can assign your own wav to each pad and save it... fruity drum pad or some shit.... <--- i havent used fl in a while...

Try FXPansion Guru. I use it with the MPD16. Its the closest you can get to an MPC without an MPC.

MPC 1000 --> with the 3rd party OS. Thats way better than 500.

I have an MPD16 and I love it, you can use it as a standard midi device so it can trigger anything, ableton works great with it. MPC's are great but they will NEVER be able to do some of the things a PC/MAC studio can do.
