I got 2 new toys - comparing them as a drum machines. The same samples, the same beat, the same effect (reverb on all parts except kick). I perform crossfade transition between them (syncronized via midi).
AKAI MPC has better reverb imho, but it adds some 'color' to the sound. Electribe offers more realtime controls. On the other side, MPC 500 can act as a multitrack pattern sequencer for external hardware.
