correct no midi thru usb only to acces storage

You have 128mb RAM to deal with in the MPC and a full set of data takes about 2min to load on average.starving student wrote:sweeeet, yeah I was talking about feature set,cause the one thousand will let you put in a harddrive, and it comes with a flashcard drive and usb connects so just to start with the convenience is humungous and quick.
I love to use this example because his music appeals to all types of people/artist.
this is all done on the mpc with lightyears less than what the jjos offers now.
listening will be self explanatory to what you can do with much less than 128megs of ram and a much weaker os.
