Question of MPC versus Ableton.

    Hey!

    I'm just wondering is it worth getting an MPC if I own Ableton (fully licenced)?

    Been tempted to buy an MPC 500 or 1000 (for gigging also), but had to stop myself a few times after weighing out the cons and pros.


    What do you all think?


    I want it to mess around with beats, but also to use live for programmed drums.


    Looking forward to your replies!

    Thanks :)

    Just wait until new year for the Ableton 9 release and dedicated push controller? :)

    That actually does look class :).

    Can you upload samples onto it and use it for gigging without being hooked up to a computer do you know?

    It has to be connected - If you want stand alone, then MPC is the way :) - but then it's bulky etc... The 'Push' looks like a good machine to take out with a small laptop - Then it's a question of latency/Audio breakout boxes.
