Hello!!

Hello fellow beat makers =)

Long time lurker and user of Akai products..

Currently in studio we have an MPC 60 II & MPC 2000. Just got an MPC 1000 for my home and am going to up grade the crap out of it!!

Things I've noticed about the 1000:

-cf card pins are easily damaged =( (thankfully there's an internal drive option)
*Thanks to MPC Stuff new hard drive should be here in 5 days
-pads are so-so (an upgrade to fat pads is next)
-JJ OS is the BOMB! (first thing I did was install it)

Overall I love the 1000!! Smaller than the 2000 but just as powerful. The swing seems to be stronger than the 2000 but with the right attenuation you can make it groove...The bit grinder option doesn't reach that MPC 60 12 bit sound but is a nice tool........

Great job by Akai on the MPC 1000...Hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the forum

cheers!

Wait till you see the new screens!

The 1k received alot of flack due to the poor pad design of the original red and blue model,but this machine with jjos is a beast.I've played the xl,4000 and the 5000 and im very happy with my black 1k with jjos1 & phat pads but would love to have a 4000 just cause......hell I would love to have one of each of the mpcs like a mpc museum lol
