Mpc 2000 Xl Vs Exs24, Is it worth it??? Options

[Mizzeh]

Hey everyone,
I'm the new guy ...Hopefully this will be my home for odd and unusual questions!! hahaha
Anyway, I have had an MPC 2000 XL for a while now and I must admit, I have not really used it for any projects thus far. I couldn't seem to get around the learning curve with this particular piece of gear...for what ever reason. In the near future I will be purchasing a large amount of studio gear including the G5 and Logic 7 which comes with the EXS24. My question is, should I sell my MPC because the EXS24 is easier and sounds just as good if not better than the MPC or keep it for reasons hopefully you will be able to give me.
Thank you very much.

It's not the swing so much as the the clock that makes the MPC2000, 3000, 60,WHATEVER, valuable. Lock your setup to it & things will just groove better. The swing is cool though, I Know guys who've set up templates based based on it to work in other environments. The bottom line here is that in the field of music that makes the most money commercially, Hip-Hop, FEEL RULES! The vast majority of of top Hip-Hop artists & producers have an MPC as the foundation of their Rig.
