Members cruster Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am awaiting the delivery of one of these:Yes, it's the much sought after "Wonder Woman Prog-Rock Assemblage." No, wait a minute, no it isn't. It's a flimsy second tier support for my crappy IQ-2000 X-stand so maybe when I get something with synth-style keys I can put it up there. I like to think of it as planting a "synth seed." I put the second tier on and eventually a synth will show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delicious Lamprey Problem Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 So, I just called MF and said I wanted to take advantage of their 45-day Lowest Price Guarantee. I pointed out that Music123 was offering 15% off (remember MF discounted my Electro this weekend because of that?), and I'd like to have 15% percent refunded on my PC3X.It took a little manager-escalation, but sure enough, they've refunded me almost $500. That makes up for my lame-o Motif sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 Dude? You just bought that? You seriously need to step away from the credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delicious Lamprey Problem Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I gather that the Electro has no reverb, so, you know, I needed some reverb. My 2X doesn't have reverb either, so two birds, one stone...There's a seller on eBay right now who has like ten of those things, new in box, for $419 each. Seemed like a deal.

Members AfroRouge Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 That's a bit like the exec at Enron pointing to a local grocer who takes pennies out of the "take a penny, leave a penny" dish and puts them in the register and saying, "Look, see, he's a fraud, too!" Nice work on getting that discount, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I care, I care -- do you like it better than the 2500?The blue display is easier on the eyes. Some of the buttons and the encoder feel smoother. The synth engine is nice to have onboard but, doesn't replace the big guns. I love having more efx and it's big and bad ass lookng.

Members asynchro_nous Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 Does it retain the fabled tight flow of MPC's of yore? And are the fx improved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkShovel2 Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 The stereo multiband compressors are hardware. I currently have two. This will bring my total to four. I find that migrating my software processing back to real time hardware allows me to have a live performance setup that sounds more like the recorded result.

So, I bet that was a considerable investment I gotta ask though, why so many? Do you really play that many things at once which can't share the compressors? Also, we need an MPC5000 thread. Like, seriously. I like the fact that it has one of the Alesis Fusion's playback engines in it (the Fusion has twin engines), and it's VA section as well. And even the screen is from the Fusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
