1000 vs 2000xl

im thinking about switching from the 1000 to the 2000xl.. the reason i wanna switch is cause im hearing A LOT of problems about the 1000 that cost a lot of money to repair.. and i hear the 2000xl is a very reliable machine.. what do you guys think?

I would think it would be cheaper to beast-out the 1k. I came in around $500, with 128mb ram, HDM10 and a 40gb hard drive, three midi cables, two 75 ohm spdif cables and a footswitch. The whole thing is honestly built like my '79 Town Coupe and when my pads inevitably go out, so the hell what? $180 of good investment, baby!

$.02

EDIT: 3.08 is free. Young Beast Status.

oh and my 1000 doesnt have any ram upgrade or anything.. just jj os

if ur 1k is not broken what are u switchin? lol

cause i heard about the pad problems and all of that.. and i dont have the money to fix them.. so yeah

Wait until you have "pad problems" then worry about it.

Wheres MPCMAYNE???????????????? I Need a question answered????????????????

The odds that a 2nd hands 2kxl will die on you are as big as the odds that a brand new 1k will die on you.
But a 1k with JJOS has more features, better storage options and faster processors.
And I believe it's easier to find replacement parts for the 1k then the 2kxl

this is retarded lol

would u get heart surgery before u have heart problems?

Would you open up an umbrella after its rained cats and dogs mmmmmmm.Whatupmange your crazy!!!!

if it aint broke dont fix it bottom line there are plenty of peeps that had the 1k for years and shit aint broke.

Alright.. I get what ur sayin.. But just in case, i need to avoid those problems.. Whats wrong wit a 2kxl that u guys are makin a big deal outta?

Nothing is wrong with the mpc2kxl, its just that the mpc1k w/jjos is a BEAST! I was in your shoes a year ago with the chance to cop a 2kxl. I read about JJOS and tried it out and have not looked back. It sucks how Nu-akai makes us pay for a faulty pad fix. My pads are going out now after 1 1/2 years of use so i will be getting the pad fix soon. An earlier post stated that you would be better off "beasting out" your 1000. I agree. You can purchase memory on ebay dirt cheap (like under $30) (ebay search: mpc memory). And bang away at them sh*tty pads til they start going out and then cop the upgraded pads. In the meantime stash away $15-$20 here and there so when the time is right you can cop the pad fix which is $180. Like i said the 2kxl is a dope machine, but a souped up mpc1000 in my opinion murders the 2kxl. (This is coming from someone who periodically uses the 2kxl from time to time over my boys crib.)

yeah i agreed with the whole thing u just said.. The jj os is sick.. I love it.. but 180 for a pad fix?!?! Like damn too much for me
