    The MPC 2000 has essentially the same guts as the S2000 stand alone sampler
    with some additional sequencing and programming abilities. Its a fantastic
    sampler for alot of things, but it only excels at drum and loop based
    programming. The only real bummers about it are the lack of time stretching
    ( on the older models ), and the inability to save files across multiple
    disks ( it would also be nice to have onboard flash ROM to store the OS ). So
    you can sample anything, ( strings, horns, whatever... ) but if the sample is
    longer than about six seconds mono, or three stereo, you can't save it to
    disk. ( You would have to have a scsi drive or something. ) I understand
    that the 2000XL has many of these limitations solved but the older MPC2000's
    can be found used for a great price. If you can afford it go for the newer
    one, but I've had a regular mpc2000 for a year of heavy use and I love it to
    death. Besides, for about a hundred bucks you can expand the memory all the
    way to 32 megs, and thats the most important thing anyways... Peace.
