I thought about upgrading my MPC with the effects board. Having no idea what the costs would be (was thinking in the range of $200-250), I called my dealer and was corrected to $600. For less ca$h I can buy an external dedicated device (lexicon amongst others.), a Zip drive and additional memory. I'm wondering now if someone can tell me if the MPC's add-on is really worth it.
I'd really like to hear what you think.

Thanks in advance,

besides do as many upgrades as you can at the same time cause there are alot of screws on it.Make sure you just screw in four to test it it sucks to screw all 18 or whatever screwz in there and realize you didn't get it plugged in good.Don't push on one side of the ribbon cable it unplugs the other side,and don't touch the transformer OUCH.

Why is it $600? it's just a small pcb w/ a few chips and a plug.Your gear must have cost you a billion dollars WTF.

Well, I don't feel fucked over my other equipment... MPC cost me about $1300. TB, $800... SH, $350 just to name a few. It's normally not all that bad... The dope is dope so there's your reason to come over here.;)
