absolute classic
There's not really much I can say about the MPC that hasn't been said. It's a fantastic workhorse sampler and sequencer. I picked mine up for 250$, and while it's definitely not in amazing shape, it works. Dealing with floppy disks to save is a headache, but I usually track my beats into Ableton to mix anyway, so it's not a huge deal for me.

midi production center
16 bits digital sampler sequencer, great timing and shuffle

My 1st ever MPC... sad to see my baby go. (The Rawest!)
Classic for life.... #1997Flow. I made many #Bangas with this joint!

CLASSIC!
I rarely use it anymore but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. It served me so well for so many years. Sometimes I run sounds through it just to get the "MPC sound" then track them in. Haven't actually sequenced on it in at least 4 years though :(

outdated. maybe the worst of the MPCs
painful to trim samples. jog wheel is the worst. this machine has aged well. the world is much better without it. good pads... that's about it
Old but always trustworthy. Rarely used but still loving its sampling power.
