I just got mine yesterday and really like it. Coming from a 2000(not xl) to the 1000 some things I noticed:

Swing: what happened to the late and early settings?

Is there a way to automatically trigger another sample without adding it to the same button assignment? It would be nice to be able to filter the samples separately but trigger them at the same time.

Velocity Percentage for the entire track. I miss having access to this setting.

Having to physically disconnect the usb cord is a pain. I thought that it was just something wrong with my setup but I later read in the manual that this is necessary. However it may not be quite a bad as having to remove a compact flash card. The mpc card that came with the unit ejects nicely but other cards barely push out.

so i guess the 1k didnt lock up when i was on the usb screen. i was wondering why it stopped responding. i guess you have to physically remove the cable from your pc for it to unlock...


hmmmmm

True dat on the quantizing.. definitely a drawback... gotta move things manually. What do you typically make late or early by the way? Like an early clap?

Welcome aboard!

I prefer the clap a little later :)
