Brad, if you can wait, check out the Yamaha SU700 when it's released in November, It should be interesting.

Anybody know why mesa doesn't work with the mpc's, or if it ever will?

FYI, this months issue of "Keyboard" has a good review section of the Ensoniq something or rather (I forget it's name), Akai MPC2000, and Yahamas new sampler.

The other setup I have is my bedroom which is where my pc is with Reality and all the other music software I have. Although I said I would probably never release anything recorded and sequenced straight from a software based sequencer, I was mainly refering to anything hip hop or dance related where you need the tightest possible sound. I'd have no problems using a sequencer on my pc for any electronica or ambient stuff where you don't need the tightest timing. That's the sort of stuff I plan to be using Reality for.
I guess the reason Mesa doesn't work with the MPCs is because they were designed by Roger LInn and not Akai themselves. The MPC2000 on the other hand was not designed by Linn because apparently his contract had expired when that was designed so Akai were free to use his concept.
Brad, the only place I've seen the SU700 mentioned is on the Harmony Central site in a Namm report. I don't think Yamaha have put it up on their site yet. I don't know what it looks like but it would be great if it had a big screen like the QY700. I probably wouldn't get one myself but I've got a friend who's in the market for something like that. I reckon it would be better than that ASRx.

Anyway, convenience seems to justify timing, and this should be considered by the guy who first posted the question over some crap $300 hardware sequencer, not a $3000 mpc.
The ASRX is pretty lame, my friend's a3000 doesn't compare (fuck the features, it's no fun to play with), and Yamaha dance products have a 4-6 month lag behind the UK on getting to the US. If you want to wait, be my guest. In that kinda time i'm out a full-length and 3 white-labels (yeah, I'm slow).

I wouldn't mind releasing a few white labels, unfortunately there are no pressing plants for vinyl here in Australia anymore.
