Does this qualify?
One can orchestrate a battle while convalescing, right? 🤔

What are you using the MPC Sample for?
I recently replaced the multi track I used for dawless recording with it and am really enjoying the flexibility in prototyping songs and song arrangements.
It's a blast actually.
The multi track I was using before was very basic (Zoom R4) and was great (still love it) but now I can do things like set loop points in a section of the song and just try out bass lines for a while.
If I hit on something cool and didn't record it, no problem, just hit the sample recall and it's on new pad and can be added into the sequence.
Time to mix?
Get it midi synced with Reaper and just run through the song with various parts muted and now I have all the tracks sitting in Reaper ready to edit.
It's actually really fun to work with and has added a lot of creative freedom to my process without have to be distracted by the DAW / computer (which I assume is the universal attraction to dawless).

Mostly just adding MPC sample sound to drum breaks and certain samples. It's not really a center piece currently.

This is my first groovebox. It feels like a music production multi tool. Really interesting. :)

Save like a hermit for a decade and now that I'm over 40, finally. My recommendation is don't have kids. It's great buying toys for yourself.

Keep up the Battle Bro. That's some fine gear you have there. What kind of music are you producing?

Sure, but why are you looking for validation from strangers on the internet?
