4K can do so much more than just drums.

yea...but aint 4k's OS buggy and hasnt been updated in a really long while tho ?

Care to tell me the bugs (i actually know most of them, but just wondering if you actually do, or if you are just passing on misinformation that you've heard and not seen...) The MPC 4000's OS has been fairly stable for quite a while... Can it do with some improvements.... sure.. so could the MPC 2.5k, 1k, and .5k.... But it's working pretty darn good from my perspective...

My MemoryMoog+'s operating system hasn't been updated for a very LONG time but it seems to hold it's own....

I'll take a 4k over a 2.5k, 1k, or .5k any day...



Cheers,
Dave

Dont think you noticed a question mark at the end of the sentence, which usually symbolizes a question rather than a statement.

i seriously never had a problem with my mpc , had it for 1 year no BUGS . so theres nothin wrong with bugs to me.

If you want a drum machine, you should be looking at a Boss or something like that. I very seldomly use my MPC as a "drum machine". It is soo much more than that.

Fender wouldn’t get away with a beta guitar, Ibanez wouldn’t get far with a beta bass and I am sure as hell that no one would buy a beta piano from any beta company, so why should Akai get away with it?

If I am going to spend that kind of money I could just as well go for Elektron’s Machine Drum. They even reply not-yet-but-hopefully-soon-to-be-customers.
Did I mention that they speak Swedish too?

Thanks for the update Maako everyone on this forum was tossing and turning wondering if you would bite the bullet and get a mpc 1000 j/k. If your just on here trying to get talked back into reordering it, cool it's a great machine that for the money pretty much can't be beat. The machinedrum is an overpriced piece of eyecandy (imo) that has more than it's share of problems with a buggy os and reliablity. If you want a rock soild drummachine / sampler get a MPC2000xl it's been around for years and is built like a tank, BUT you lose tons of features (sample time, grid edit, patch phrase etc.) compared to the 1000.

Machine drum over an MPC?????????? "YO....Is he serious B"????? (qouted from the dude in the beging of BELLY when he asked NAS if DMX was serious about wanting him to apologize lol)
