Greetings.

Just bought a new black 1000 today from Guitar Center in Fort Greene. (last one, I think they had 3 to start).

Ordered the harddrive kit, some ram, a cf card and salvaged a 40gig hardrive from a defunct notebook.

Looked for a bag and found the official one for $65 shipped.

Is there anything different other than the black color?

It comes with OS 2.0 installed (I updated to 2.1 right away)

And it comes with a v2 operating manual which is nice.

And apparently it has faster dsp chips and better mpc2000 groove built in as well . . .

(TOTALLY KIDDING ON THAT LAST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

That was a good joke. Man I been waiting on this thing since mid Feb. I just think the black one looks sick me personally it doesn't matter but since I have the option I take one in black.

My Baby Black 1k should arrive this week sometime. It's my first mpc and it's a nice time for me to make the move. Just started making beats over the summer and I outgrew FL Studio. I'll still use it for midi purposes along with Reason. Watch out for me! :shock:

I dont think you read his question correctyl. He said is there ANYTHING DIFFERENT not is there any otha colors beside the black. He wanted to know did the black have any new updates or spec changes compared to the red/blue MPC.
