The Akai MPC2000XL (eBay) is another edition of the MPC series that is still widely used today. The MPC2000XL is similar to the MPC2000 but with many newer features; including four independent pad-bank keys, number of samples stored doubled to 256 on the XL. If you wanted to alter sounds to a different bit depth or sampling rate. Time stretching was also added along with other features. In 2004 the 2000XL-MCD version featured a Compact Flash card reader as standard in place of the floppy or zip drives used in the earlier editions.
