I use the 3000Le for 16 bit resolution. That's where I get my glisten from.
To answer your question. The reason why I use the MP is bascically for the sequencer. These are the best sequencers ever - and the SP 12 & 1200 of course.
I like the crunch that the 60 gives - Can't be matched. Or emulated.
Nothin wrong with your set - Just set it. I know my way around the MP because that's what I use. I use the software to Mix down and wav. format the tracks. That's all. I can make beats on the Mac aswell. Just prefer queing the sounds myself - manually.
But for certain - You cannot front on the Old School Quality.
It's just RAW. That's what your software is trying to capture. Just won't be as Boom and as Bap as the original sounding equipment.
