I used to have an MPC1000, and an SP1200. I got tired of having to flip floppy’s & not having the memory to sample the way i wanted. When Maschine came out i went BONKERS.

I can do stuff in that program that takes forever to do in programs like Ableton and Logic.
its all preference of course, but i feel that my familiarity makes the workflow much faster.
plus having a harddrive with all the samples….
hard to go back to a standalone situation.
