Salut,

There is a chart with the various os versions, so it depends on what YOU need and the way YOU work.
There are basically 2 variants : 128 or not (large screen that need to have -> 128)
it's there : https://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/chart_n.htm

you wanna to buy the os2xl, from there you can also use the os3 (2.5 branch (development still on-going) or 1.52 (consider the latter as being a FINAL release))
comparison with theses os are here : https://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os2xl_os3.htm

you won't be wrong anyway.

Yes. I would go for the OS2XL. From there you will be happy, and can also experiment with OS3 if you want and go back and forth.

This is what I currently have

akai MPK261 master keyboard
Mpc 2500 Se
Korg Minilogue xd synth
Fl studio with several vsts to create my loops
A pair of monitoring speakers
an evo 4 sound card
https://www.thomann.de/fr/audient_evo_4.htm enough to connect everything I have?


A midi cable to connect the master keyboard to the MPC

This is how I plan to “work” with the MPC2500 and I would like to know if you think it is viable or not on certain points.
I would first like to compose my own melodies so I would start by creating loops on fl studio with my vst in software and on my synth via fl studio or on the MPC directly. I would put the drum kit and my loops directly on the compact flash card to build my songs on the MPC, am I right?
Not having a hardware mixer at the moment, I would mix either on the MPC or on FL studio.

Here is what I should take soon:

https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B000VY2BC0?psc ... uct_detail

or a 4 gigabyte

with jjosxl, apparently you have to install the free version first before installing the paid on
I have an MPC2500Se with the original screen.

and I'm thinking of taking the alchemist master class too:

All I have to do is figure out how to plug it all in.

thanks for your answers guys :wink:
