Its not about the sampling, but the sequencing.   To put it short, its fast,
very fast, to sit down at and get a drum beat and the rhythm section to an
arrangement going on it.

With the bigger units, they have  the 4 MIDI outs and very nice MIDI routing
that lets you work computer free if you want.

My first MPC was the 1000 which I really liked, but thought 'hey I'd like
the bigger pads' so I eventually upgraded to the 2500.  Then a 5000 came
available at a price I could not resist, and I upgraded again.  Recently, I
sold that because it took up so much space, and Maschine really has taken
over my drum programming duties...but I keep thinking that a second hand 1k
will find its way back in my studio.  I really think its the perfect form
factor for that type of device.
