7-10 Days before Arbiter UK take shipment of the new baby mpc.
I have been assured by an Arbiter (Akai UK) Techinical guy, who claims to have tested a unit a month ago, and has reviewed it for Akai.
He says 'its the best MPC he has ever used, so tiny and sounds f**kin Phatt'
he also said that whilsts doing a standard 1/16 beat pattern, he noticed that the sequencing was extremely tight, and he beleives its tighter than his fully expanded 2000xl.
he made it clear that between a 2000xl and a 1000, the 1000 is superior as a stand alone drum machine, as it seems very very tight, punchy, 10 times easier to use, and he claims that its built in FX are a as good as a gold mine...lol.
so it looks like ime gonna Cop an MPC 1000 just for doing drums.
