I've had the MPC60 since around 2010 as my main-centerpiece/sequencer/brain/hub, made many complete tracks with it and know it inside&out pretty much. Very comfortable with it and I'll always love its' simple UI. It's only 2.02 OS; but, I like it and it works for me (no bugs).
I am selling it, because I have an S2400 now. But, I keep thinking I may miss the mpc's UI and sequencer (I like the OG/classic-style simple UI; I don't want a newer One/Live). Also, I am sure the 1000 can get 'muscle memory" too, unlike the newer One/Live.
So, I am considering getting a 1000.
If I sell my mpc60... and end up really missing its’ sequencer and UI in the future... I think I might just get the 1000. Similar OG, classic, simple UI (just more features I'm sure, since newer; and also JJOS, which I have no idea what it really has, but I've always heard about it), I already know how to use the classic UIs, and it's affordable and not super rare like a 60/3k, and also has USB/CF for easy sample dumps and also saving seqs/projects to computer or CF.
The USB/CF is another main attraction to me; as I'm trying to get away from floppies and slower workflow. (I also sold my S950 a few months after I got the S2400).
I'd like to use the 1000 (just like I did my mpc60) as the main-centerpiece/hub/sequencer/brain to control and midi-sequence all of my external synths/modules/samplers/etc.
That being said... how does the 1000 and/or JJOS differ than the mpc60? I'd love to hear your insights and opinions.
It can be about the sequencer itself, midi-sequencer, song-mode, extra features, sampling, editing, data/cf/usb management, bugs, quirks, etc., etc.
Wanna hear your opinions on the advantages, pros, cons, new features, likes, dislikes compared to the mpc60 please.
(aside from the SOUND of course... as we all already know the 60 sounds dang good)
Also, will the transition to a 1000 from an mpc60 be easy? Or, is there a lot to learn?
I assume it'll be easier than learning let's say the S2400... as that's an entirely new, different UI/machine.
