I was just watching some vids on the 5000, its without a doubt a beast, the only thing that holds it back is the OS.
JUST SPEAK UP SO AKAI understand that MPC5000 is still relevant today.
Understand that Akai probably had had a rough time with turning around the business around that time but, please lets not get them away with stopping development of MPC5000 so easily.
Voice what you want to see in OS 3.0,
#1
Top of my list is the MPC Beat Clock issue when slaving the machine to a clock: This is the thread and its fully documented that the 5000 is sloppy vs 4000 and 3000.

#2 general bug fixes. see bug thread get rid of freeze ups and crashes
#3 time correct: nudge by ticks earlier and late and apply swing while a sequence is playing, see mpc 4000, see list by b-righteous
#4 multis like 4000 and TOP10 of 4000 if missing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic1jWJ7CrfE
#5 automap to pad chops while chopping

Feature request still needed after OS 2.0
General
-Real time audition of quantize changes with sequence play from T.C. screen
-Remove fix screen from T.C. since it is needless. This can be merged on the first screen.
-Ability to increase pad on threshold/sensitivity so the pads trigger accurately every time.
-Add Independent lengths settings for each sequence track. Tracks are set to current sequence length when first recorded. Track length can be adjusted independently from main pressing window on new track "bars" parameter. From window you can quickly add empty bars or append the track to itself.
-Automatic track looping set globally for each sequence. When on, tracks in sequence loop to fill length of sequence.
-Add selectable accent sound to click/metronome
-Import midi file to track with real time preview.
-Midi phrase library.
-Add external midi mixer for midi out ports
-Midi device port and channel naming
-Add Chord function
-16 level scales
Chop shop improvements
a. Add F1 [ADD] and F2 [DELETE] soft-buttons to create slice markers while using data wheel
b. Once a sample is chopped, ability to use pads/pad banks to select regions to edit
c. Allow region start/end points to overlap
d. Add Shift + Pad to [Extract] waveform between start/end points and assign to pad/program
e. Add Convert slice regions to keygroup program
Trim
-improve tempo detect accuracy
-Add Scrolling cursor
-Add re-sampler with quick FX to edit options to re-sample through FX
-Cross fade loop
-Auto-chromatic assignment of sample – add upper & lower note range
-Mark select for editing a group of samples for normalize, truncate, delete.
-detect and remove silence
Program
-Add Modulation Matrix
-Add most Synth, Keygroup, Sample program parameters to modulation matrix (reverse and alternating, sample start offset)
-Add a second syncable LFO to allow full compatibility w/ S5000/6000, Z8, and MPC 4K programs
-Add reverse and alternating to Play Mode
-Add sample start offset and delay to pad layers
-Add two MIDI channels/programs to track
Q-link
-Add Q-link Modes selectable with shift modifier
A. Global
B. Program (ADSR cutoff etc.) / assignable (appears in APM modulation matrix)
Rec Sample
-Add ability to quick assign newly recorded sample to any program
-Skip back re-sampling feature like Roland Fantoms.
Disk
-Purge – add purge program and purge complete memory
-Save mixer with programs and samples
-Save song + sequences + mixer
-Add ability to save effect sets,
-Increase load and save speeds at least 5X
-Mark select to load/save a group of samples
Grid Edit
- Add [Insert] tab (like Step Edit has) to insert Note, Pitch Bend, Control Change, Program Change, etc
Seq Edit
-Add ALL TRACKS to function button.
-Add split notes by pitch function. Each note can be moved to a new empty track and each new track is assigned to the same program settings etc. Selected pad or all is the option
-quick sequence append in bars window on function button to append sequence to itself.
