I've been googling and searching around for awhile and still wondering can I swap cards and projects from an mpc1000 and a mpc2500?

It would be nice to make all my studio beats on a 2500 and then perform and travel with a 1000. Do I need to be using the same JJOS or what if I have just the original akai OS on each unit.

Any help would be great, it would be so nice to just swap flashcards from a 2500 to a 1000 and head to a show.

Thanks!

Short answer for the most part is yes, but if the operating systems are different, (i.e. OS3 projects on OS2) it won't work. I load up old MPC 1000 project files on the 2500 all the time. I'm not entirely sure about original AKAI OS but I suspect it's the same deal. In either case additional options on the 2500 (Q links) won't translate on the 1000, but project files and sounds should work fine.
