If someone buy this christmas AKAI 1000 and want to update OS to max must pay:

1-Os1=49 dolars
2-OS2=49 dolars
3-OS2Xl=15 dolars
113 dolars total

...i think that after alll JJ will be generous with his users..all people talk good about his work...and his soft hast been hacket...why he not do a gift to all with a free pack?


i translated this it of text

4. OS2XLのパスワード料金は6500円です。
  但し、OS2のパスワードが入力されているMPCにOS2XLをインストールした場合は1000円です。

and it came out as:

4. The password fee of OS2XL is 6500 Yen.   However, when OS2XL is installed to MPC where the password of OS2 is input, they are 1000 Yen.

which implied that if you have no previous jj - you can come staight in and buy for 6500 yen which is about £40 or $66

...


Then how much is the total for a person that have the OS from AKAI and want to update his OS to JJ OS2XL?(OS1+OS2+OS2XL)

When reading the topic I had for a second the great feeling of a JJ os for the 2kXL :)

Damn, if the chord function works without reducing polyphony an equivilant amount per note, that'd be so useful I don't have the proper vocabulary to describe it. I'm looking forward to this update almost as much as the initial OS2 update!!!!!

I did the same with OS 1 en 2 and will do it again. Never use my 1000 anyway.
If he would invert track mute colors I might use it again :) My 2kxl is enough for how I use the mpc at home.

that'll never happen. polyphony is the amount of voices that can be played simultaneously and a chord by definition consists of multiple voices. voice=chords=polyphony suck.

For me, the added EQ to the filter, however basic, is a first step to mixing within the mpc in a more fluid way, without having to re-sample again and again. Of course, if that eq was sweepable for each track/sound that would be even better, maybe it's possible in the future, maybe it isn't, I don't know.

Maybe eventually, the only way to squeeze more functions into with regard to a possible limitation in how big the code can be, would be to allow users of future OS's to choose which one they want to use for which project, e.g. OS3EQ for one that needs a lot of mixing EQ's, then switch to OS3COMPOSE to use chords and arpeggios etc. I think to make the perfect OS for everyone is not possible. So why not have different incarnations for different tastes. I really don't mind paying a little extra for each one as long as it means I can do more stuff off the computer, on the road etc...

How about it?

No picture giving the MPC a thumbs up?

Nice pad... I remember before I got married how nice it was to live a less organized life... trash bags can make wonderful curtains damn it! Now everything is lace and frills... at least I've got my one room.

haha yeah that's my ladyfriend's place, it's another americorps residence in san francisco. they have the most beautiful view of the city. it's at the top of Folsom street, right next to that massive hill. she caught me looking at the os2xl screens and bugging out over the chord stuff. luckily she digs nerdy behavior.

it's a bad bad idea....
it means dozens OS's thousends problems and bugs,
one OS, is great solution, because everyone else has it,
and that's the way OS improve
different OS will made a mess

my opinion

That is beautiful. We gotta use this as the cover for the manual for os2xl.
