I have a MPC 1000 that has been sitting more or less unused for about 10 years. I have some experience with the native OS but I’ll be re-learning a lot along the way, so I’m wondering if I should upgrade to JJOS? What are the pros and cons of this?

JJOS is what made the 1000/2500 sureshot classics.
At least get the basic JJOS, the advanced ones are a personal choice.

I also rec some new pads/sensors

Yeah I started finger drumming on it and was going to use it as a controller for my DAW, but was very disappointed to feel how unresponsive the pads were. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon the pad upgrade, but I’m sure that’s what the problem is. Gonna upgrade pads and check out JJOS ASAP. Battery upgrade next perhaps?

Mpc w jjos is a completely different machine than stock akai os. They are not even comparable in terms of features added. Give it a try and you will be extremely surprised at how many sequencing and pattern making tools you will get.
