Potential 5000 buyers

If you hate akai that much, you should buy the jj-hardware(jpc)

shit I already know I plan on coppin one, it looks pretty damn good to me, I love the idea of being able to make my own sounds and all, plus I really want an mpc as my sequencer since all I have now is my asr-10, which is fine, but I really want those extra outs, all that extra stuff, and I'd rather wait 6 to 8 months after its out to buy it 2nd hand from someone who bought one and doesnt know what the hell to do with it.............

5000 is a flop just because the os will have bugs and will never get fixed..

How do you know that??? Maybe they put an effort in that OS and it is more or less bug free?!?!?! Maybe some day a company realises its mistakes and changes?!?!? Only because a company did 2 two or three products with questionable quality it does not mean they do it for their time being.

I doubt that the 5000 will be a flop! It's just some sort of other direction. Maybe you have to accept that an MPC nowadays won't be that classic "chop-sample-programm-beat" machine!

I like the synth idea since I think it will be hard to get companies to programm multi-samples for a hardware unit. Most of them commercial libraries run as Kontakt, GIGA or whatever format! [/url]

dat's what I'm trying to get at, I'd rather get on early and find out how to work it and make that magic before it catches on (if it does) since mad ppl are already shitin on it before its even out yet

okay the 2 above me are clearly not samplist...i dont understand why u need pointless features when u can have more machine for less money...damn theres even free open source waveditors that let u generate tones and have support for plugins and u still think the mpc5000 is worth the money...the thing that bothers me that the mpc5000 is missing are extra loop features witch the 4000 has but the 5000 doesnt...plus crossfade loop ownz and waveditors have this features 5000 doesnt..the 5000 aint for me and ur not helping me understand why u need it when its so god damn expensive..i can shell out reasons for u to study alternatives for every reason on why u want a 5000...

Naug, This has proberly been said before but whats your beef? This is a MPC forum so whats with the avatar? I have never had any probs with my 2500 and I got original OS not JJ. I think the 5000 looks and sounds the business 300 synth tones tho f*ck with, a multitrack, line/mic/deck, inputs plus the extra outs and fxs. I will proberly save for one if I can manage it. also what are the benefits of these loop functions your bangin on about? all the stuff I mentioned on the pro side are the only things I miss on my 2500.

Potential 5000 users, are users who dont know what a 4000 is and are still poppin zits in the mirror wait'n on ya nuts to drop.

rofl. they're two different beasts though man. The 4000 is good for advanced users (havent touched one so I'm just guessing based on reviews) and the 3500 is good for everyone else.

Your right bro, as I have not touched a 5000. I quess i just see no point in this particular forum, considering the speculation quotient is so high and I guess i was just being an a**hole. My apologies comrads. Sorry I quess im contributing the very thing I find unappealing about forums, all the b*tch*ng and complaining. To each his own!

can this new mpc 5000 basicly do the same thing the mv8800 can do or more , as far as programming a sound on a pad without hitting the sample button?

the MPC is a 16/44.1 phrase sampler... and the MV has a 16/44.1 full sampler. the MV has 512mb ram... the MPC has 192mb ram(i think)... the MPC has a REAL VA Synth engine... the MV has VA Bass Modeling.... the MV has 6 banks per pad..... the MPC has 4..... the MV has VGA and mouse option.... the MPC does not... the MV has an option for additional analog outputs... additional outputs standard on the MPC.... you can record audio on the MV ( but it will eat up your ram )... you can record audio on the MPC (streamed from the hard drive)l......

MV is also just a phrase sampler.

I thought that was emplied when I said Full Fledge Sampler.... my bad

It's also worth mentioning (for potential European users) that the 8-out expansion board for the MV8800 is not RoHS compliant, so you'll be stuck with just the stereo outs.

In addition, the MPC5000 features a 64-voice drum/phrase sampler with 64MB memory - expandable up to 192MB.
