that is so funny since I wanted some advice on a live rig I asked the two of you and you (stweart and fred) both said go with the laptop. if I remember right stewart said something like the "mpc 2k was a crappy sampler". but I guess you use what you know and feel comfortable with ehh! scotto lansing, mi. ps just got my new powerbook on wednesday. now digi has to get on a os x pro tools
