Why is the JJ OS2 for the MPC 2500 more expensive than OS2 for the MPC 1000?
JJ responds:
Since there are few users of MPC2500, there are also few buyers of OS2.
If there are few buyers, cost will increase.
OS2 of MPC2500 may not be made if OS2 of MPC1000 seldom sells.
Thank you.

What is non destructive chopping? I chop my samples and never hear any loss in quality. Not only on the 2500, but on any machine that can edit samples.. I'm lost.
Also, can OS-2 sustain samples like using a synth wit the ASDR? If I have a horn sample, can I make it play like a motif or triton. Example, hold pad, and it plays indefinitely, release the pad and it slowly decays. I'm not sure what the big fuss is with OS/2..my computer won't translate what's on his page, and I haven't heard any music from anyone that allows to to hear any difference. I have the latest jj os in my 2500, and it works just fine.

non-destructive chopping has nothing to do with a loss of quality, it has to do with cutting up a sound file into different files.
currently you can only assign 1 set of start and end points to a sound file. if you want to play a different part of the file, you need to either copy it or extract it to a different sound file and then set the start and end points on the new file accordingly.
with non-destructive chopping, you'll be able to have a single file, but assign up to 64 different sets of start and end points, each of which could be triggered by pads.
think of it as having a sample with the phrase "hip hop". you can set the start and end points on chop1 so that it just says "hip", the start and end points on chop2 so that it just says "hop", and then the start and end points on chop3 so that it says "hip hop", all without having to extract to a new sound file.

Ohh, thanks! Now I see..quick thought tho...if each chop takes up a pad, what's the real purpose of this?
I'm just asking because I don't know. To me, I can do everything I need on my current MPC so I'm trying to find out what benefit OS/2 is for me. The original jj os was a blessing for me and made the workflow on the 2500 much better. I don't need to upgrade, but I will if it has features that I may need in the future.

the benefit is taking up less space in memory, and also not having to worry about going back to adjust a start point or end point and realizing that when you extracted the sample you cut it too short.
each chop is not going to take up a pad, you would assign samples to pads just as you normally do. it's just that when you assign to a pad, you could also choose which chop to trigger.
JJ left in the original way of chopping though, so it's not like you have to use non-destructive.
