I had the MPC1000 but the USB functioning was so bad, I took it back and bought Roland's Fantom S (they now have the X). The Fantom has 16 pads for triggering drum beats, or samples. You can play the drums live with either the pads or the keys. All the kits are mapped to either. It also has looping capabilities with overdub, but no feedback that I could find. I want to call Roland's support to see if that would be possible using the on-board effects? I'm also playing my old Boss DR-550 drum machine (remember that, Rick :) using the Fantom as a midi control devise. That works pretty cool, playing those old, early digital sounds! It's not a cheap solution, but it's not too bad if you need a keyboard workstation. Tom -----Original Message----- From: L.
