OS3 has been running smooth for the last couple of hours, and I didn't experience on freeze or crash. I really like all the little improvements in the workflow; did anybody notice you can now also preview samples in the "Load" menu by hitting the pads instead of pushing F5? And don't even get me started on the stereo chop shop and the all pad functionality. Nice one JJ!

It appears that the OS is FREE and fully operational for MPC 2500 owners. I guess he/they are trying to win us over.

Really? Have you tried it? I read that but thought it was an error in English grammer.

JJ should hook up with someone to translate English better on the site. Its really bad.

So in retrospect, anyone has a clear list of the improvements and new features this OS has over the aKai ones?

Improvements? Don't really know yet...But anything that will minimize the 1000 users talking about their machine in this forum is an improvement.. :P

Excuse my ignorance, before I sold my MPC1000 I really liked the JJ OS, but always had a hard time understanding the english translation.

So, does number (12) mean that those functions (Direct Recording, Continuos sample track, etc.) are not available with the JJ OS?
