    Wow... I almost needed a translator for that....

    If you have midi or audio output, you can record it.

     Looks like it might be audio from the turntables and the mixer thing... so yeah if you can get  the audio into the computer and into a cake platform... you can use them to record beats.

    if the units have midi you can use that... and mutlitracking opens all sort of doors

    'Classic' hip hop is made with the same record on 2 turntables and playing them back to back (ie grab two slabs of funky drummer, play the break on one, when it finshes play the break from the start on the other slab, meanwhile rewind the first slab so that when the second break finishes you can start it again from tt1. Repeat ad-infinitum.

    The second wave of hip hop was driven by samplers, you could take your funky drummer loop and retrigger it with a button rather than set off another copy of the record whilst you rewind the first. This also meant that you could bring MIDI  / timing control in to play and sequence your 808 alongside your beats.

    Then people got clever and realised that they could snip up their funky drummer in to constituent parts and re-sequence the break (see all Amen based Jungle records ever...)

    So, essentially, to make Hip Hop beats all you need is a reasonable record collection / ear for a break. Some drum machines (hardware, virtual or sampler based, doesn't matter) and something to sequence it all up with (could be an MPC an MMT8 or Sonar (or any other number of sequencers). I think Fruity Loops is pretty popular for this sort of thing.

    Apply imagination and a bit of fun and you're making Hip Hop.

    no they dont have midi and yes i does.

    well reading all this sounds like hiphop was limiting on beats lol
    yea i got mpc just not as good as thought i mean made lot beats on it.
    but im gonna trade my korg m50 and mpc 1000 for yamaha motif xf 88 key.

    sense i make beat by takeing sounds i hear and re create them.
    and im useing tascam 2488neo mix master but goning buy new sonar x1 producer.
    maybe to master so i can get anlog warmth. if it has tape sim?
