Motif MO6 V.S. Mpc 1000

i got the motif rack and the sounds are the extremely good, but i never used it for sequencing or samplin cuz its only the rack. my advice would to start fuckin with software and see how u sound then step it up, but the mpc is more useful for sample based tracks the motif is usually for doin beats with only keys.
I would get the mpc2000xl used for about same price as new mpc1000...if price aint an issue...get the mpc4000,In any case everything has a learning curve,and also get an older midi keyboard with onboard sounds,then if its workin for ya,upgrade and get some rack modules,the mpc holds its value pretty good
I think the a used mpc 2000xl,or if you can find a 3000 cheap get the 3000..I dont use no vst or computer programs for beats,but I would say that you have a midi controller,you can then use the mpc to sequence the drum sounds and samples on the mpc,and sequence the vsts on the computer,You will need a mixer,at the very least a cheap 2 channel dj mixer to monitor the sounds.
rodneyz, make sure you understand that an MPC is nothing more then a sampling drum machine with a built-in midi sequencer. It doesn't have a synth engine and it doesn't come with it's own built-in sounds. MPC's arn't a necessary piece of equipment by a long shot, especially in the age of computer-based music production. In my opinion your money would be better spent on something more robust.
While there's nothing wrong with asking for opinions, do yourself a favor a go to your nearest Guitar Center and actually demo this stuff first-hand. That's the best way to decide what purchase is the right one for you to make.

I've tried both and my preference is the motif. took about 8 months to fully understand it. cool toy to have. those mpc's are sick too, but i'm really not into sampling stuff so the motif was the choice for me. both have good qualities . but def go play with some shit at the store to find which you prefer. either or can produce heat on the tracks.
