From sonicstate.com review section:
"Beware of this machine !! It sounds good on paper but in actual use it is far from the praise it is getting. It has been noted on the MPC1k forum (www.mpc-forums.com)that this unit has a nasty bug causing it to randomly drop notes from sequences, corrupts samples, timing goes off and perform other very annoying audio/sequencing glitches. Akai seems very unresponsive towards this, the almost unexisting updates do not fix these issues. Other issues not often mentioned: there is no zone slicing like on the 2000xl, no timestretching either. Overall construction is very cheap, many MPC1K have uneven pad sensitivity.
Don't get me wrong, i love the MPC series, and really wanted this product to succeed cuz its small and has usb, but this one just doesnt live up to the standard set by the rest of the family."
I put in a reply, basically saying he should read the forums here a little more carefully... does he even own one? Anyway, sonicstate deleated my post. I love this site and it just angers me when someone makes bad references to it...
