Hi Dennis I'm on the digest so someone probably already answered this already; but Stewart Walker uses an MPC. His essay on it is here http://www.stewartwalker.com/label/mpc_problems.html
He basically says the MPC has loads of limitations (many of them overcome with the 2000XL) but is still the best option available for live performance. And then says maybe a laptop will be the way to go in the future (so probably not helping you answer your question!)

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm sorry if this is too "techy" for this list, but I'd be interested to hear from the producers out there who do live PAs about what type of gear makes up your performance rigs. The stumbling block for me is whether or not to go with some type of dedicated hardware setup (MPC, sampler, mixers) or a laptop. My studio is PC based, so it'd be nice to stay in the PC realm, although Macs seem to be more popular for performance use. I'm terrified of an onstage crash. Stewart Walker has an hour long live set in mp3 format available on his website that's KILLER. That type of seamless, layered approach would be perfect for the type of music I'm doing.Any thoughts?Dennis DeSantis www.mp3.com/vanderrohe _____________________________________________________________________________ http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
