it really depends on the style of the user.. but i could definitely "make it work".
the manual is here: http://www.akaipro.com/archives.html
see: Virtual Samples (HD tracks) in v121, Playsheet Function in v130, MIDI song file player in v200 & v210
the S6000 is cooler than you think..  |
i was referring to the very first posting.. see part C (C.) sending midi information to a computer to control host software (like BFD, Guru, etc)) and that the s6000 is simply not capable of, that's why i meant it's out of the question
you say the s6000 has enough ram/voices/HD that triggering other devices might not be necessary, then you simply might not have other devices, that need to be controlled (if that's the case, then the s6000 should work fine)
i have 2 sampler and 3 sound modules, that i need to control, and there is no way, that this job could be done by only the s6000, and the sounds/possibilities of the other devices could not be "left aside" (at least when it comes to my setup)
i'm not saying the s6000 is a bad machine.. no not at all, it's an incredible device, but it's not a one-in-all solution (if you don't mind carrying multiple devices i'd suggest it hands down)

the mpc is rather a sequencer/drum computer with an integrated sampler, the S6000 is a dedicated sampler.. they're completely different machines and usually you shouldn't compare them two.. (look at pics of them both and you'll realise right away.. that's without looking at the specs, which clears it up even more)
when it comes to sampling i prefer the s6000 but the mpc has the advantage of the pads and the sequencing..
