Brilliantly made with loads of useful features!
First off, djkit.com were very helpful on the phone with my initial queries, ordering online was very easy and the mpc arrived the next day very well packaged ! As for a review of the actual mpc I haven/'t had a chance to get stuck in with it yet, it's very different to the 2000xl that I'm used to although some of pathways are a natural progression from the 2000xl and make sense, it really is a stand-alone device, the sound is excellent and the portability superb ! I am very much looking forward to mastering this machine and I envisage that I won't be buying another mpc for quite sometime!
