I have used every mpc except the 1000. I have heard very mixed things about it's sound quality and punchyness esspecially in the snares. Can anyone who has used either mpc 60 through 4000 give me their opinion on the 1000's sound quality and overall value verses the other machines.

Ignore anybody that says a MPC will give you punchy drums, basically they are an idiot that cant engineer.

i've owned the MPC60, MPC2000, MPC2000xl and worked with a 3000 a few times....there's my credentials.

the 1000, is punchy and reminds me of the MPC60's tonal character, or atleast more so than any other MPC. the 1000 is a brighter and cleaner sound and i'm not just talking about the 12bit verses 16bit and so-forth. i find it is definitely richer in the high-end than the low-end. that's not to say there's no bass. i found on my MPC60 having to add high-end (pre sample). the 60 always was dirty and low. the 1000 has bottom but i've never had to add highs to enrich the sound.

as far as what it sounds like in comparison to the 2000, well i never liked the way the 2000 series sounded. i was constantly eqing and filtering to get big, crisp drums. for me the only feature i miss in the 2000 series is the editing options (zones, slicing, reverse etc...).

the 1000 is a great machine, with good tonal character. actually all of Akai's machine are excellant. many incredible albums have been written on the whole Akai line. it's easy to get lost in stupid shit and forget that none of these machine have a talent button. discipline, practice, reading your manual, digging, and dedication will go much further than ....(fill in the blank with whatever gear lust you have).

off to make beats....peace
