Well if you're going to definitely get a hardware drum machine/sampler then I would get the Yamaha RS7000. The MPC is good but the RS7000 offers so much more if you ask me.

Do a search on these forums for RS7000. Here's one of the results with some good info by Vitaminman:

And you can also check this unofficial site for the RS7000:

Naw hell with that get the 4000 thousand its the greats thing ever...it spits all over software and the older mpcs..........sike naw im just joking i got a mpc xl and it gets the job done very well

the rs7000 gives you a lot more right out the box.... youo dont really need anything else if you got that. i have an mpc and i am familiar with it and its great to have as a sequencer plus noone else can even touch the pads on it. i would go rs7000, even tho i prefer the mpc. you will have more to work with.

Afrique : I might be off topic but what bothers you with your piece of software ? (other than the mouse thing)
just wondering

its jus da mouse thing, might seem a bitz stupid actually.
samplers dont crush as often pcs, do they?

upgrade your computer, get a midi controller and reinstall your os . this should do the job

i suggest you go check it out at the music store first -- then decide if you still want it or not

the MPC will not dissappoint...........if you can find sounds this is the best gear for what you want to do
