hey everyone

- as is said, i want "something like a MPC with keys instead of pads."

- this is just for pre-production. just to find some ideas. that thing would be in a separate room from my studio, anywhere. i use Logic Pro for the "finished product".

i've owned a lot of hardware (MPC 2000XL, E-MU E6400, E-MU ESI 32, Ensoniq DP-2, Nord Lead, Micromodular, Akai Z-4 ...). sold everything and went software for the convenience of it.

it's true the MPC has one of the best hardware sequencer, but its sampler doesn't have ADSR, only AD. you can't load and play a piano or a rhodes with a MPC, unless it is a MPC 5000 (but i don't have the bucks for a 5000 !)
