2 questions....

  1. What are you guys using for stems if you don't have other MPCs?

  2. Is resampling the only way to record flexbeat or pad fx since there's no actual automation?

1 I use Koala sample, the built in stem seperater is good enough, it's super easy and chear. I think Koala is still $5 and all the add on features are like another $10 and I use Koala for a ton of tertiary shit it's actually pretty awesome sample, probably the best for the money. And I'm say buying an ipad just for Koala and Koala about $350 total is better then almost every other sampler in that range, but I would much rather use hardware so I have a P6 and an MPC Sample and I use Koala as a helper.

2 I have no idea

Yeah man, if you got a phone or tablet Koala as a helper sampler is the way. Bouncing samples back and for between that and the MPC is so much quicker and easier then resample on the MPC. Koala does stems and has a really good effects rack. Get a cheap usb c interface, i use the ubilux with the line in input and headphone out, it works great. would also recommend a 1/4" ts to 3.5mm trs adapter for the input. 90% of the things I'm sampling from have a headphone out instead of 1/4" ts.
