MPCs, specifically the MPC 2000XL, can sample and sequence, but have no sounds on the machine. Tritons can sample, sequence and it has its own sounds on it. Most hip hop producers use an MPC, and im wondering why its so important in the music world when a triton can do almost the same thing.
 
well let me put it this way and i hope it dont offend mpc users.....the triton is a keyboard/sequencer/sampler and alot of hip hop producers dont know how to play piano or a keyboard where as the mpc is a drum machine/sequencer/sampler and it has big pads that you can tap and pounce on to trigger sounds and samples to make beats and songs....yes the mpc is a great tool but it limits you to what you can do as a musician if you need complicated piano or keyboard parts the triton in my opinion is the best way to go, if you are buying only one piece of gear for writing hip hop....but if you have that kinda money...the triton and the mpc together.....you cant go wrong
 
yes the mpc is a great tool but it limits you to what you can do as a musician if you need complicated piano

which defeats not getting a triton which has Keyboard, a sequencer, sampling capabilities, tons of sounds.
 
Some hip-hop producers also say that the MPC has a certain "sound" to it. Plus they say that the sequencer/quantizing has a certain feel or "swing" to it. I've written on both. Every piece of equipment has it's own unique personality but I don't necessarily think one is more "hip-hop" than the other.

I agree that if your tracks are more "musical" then you're going to get more from a Triton.
 
Musicians use a keyboard. Sequence designers use a sequencer.
