Pros
Record up to eight audio tracks. Superb workflow. Large screen for detailed editing/navigation. Deep sample editing. New workhorse synth.
Cons
No 24-bit/96kHz support. CD/DVD burner is an optional extra.

A worthy and versatile addition to the MPC range. For those who like everything in one box, the 5000 is hard to beat.
