I would buy a 2nd one to use for live set DJing

This is not an MPC so for some it will take some getting used to. The workflow is similar to Ableton Live. And because I know Ableton there was no learning curve for me. I love that I can use MPC sounds in this unit as well. My only issue with it is when I installed my 2TB SSD drive it didn't show up at first. I had to buy an encloser than format it on my computer. Put it back in the Force for it to see the added hard drive. Other than that great unit!
