Default Akai MPC-1000/2000

Hey,

Just wandering if any of you out there have either of these, and can give me some idea of how good/usefull they actually are?

A friend of mine is able to get me a brand new one at half the retail price, which I think is a pretty damn good deal, but not sure if it will be the MPC1000 or MPC2000.

Should I bother? Is it just gear lust? Or is this a deal not to pass on?

I currently use Cubase SX, HALion VST, Reason 2.5, Virus RackXL, and Motif Rack.

I was under the impression that these were mainly for live use, are they usefull in the Studio? Is it worth going for the MPC1000 as it has USB. Will it bring back a live element into my Studio? How does it sync with software sequencers?

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Jase
