Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By lowtense Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:13 am
I like my mpc2000xl more than my friend's mpc1000.
But i'm jeAlous cause he's using JJOS with much more options.
Will there ever be a JJ OS for the 2kxl? Or at least a new akai Os?
What do you headz think?

The closest you'll get in feel to the 2kxl is the 2500, which coupled with jj is superb. I made that switch last year and it's a great upgrade.

I value the extra screen real estate over the colour, but that's just me.

Why resurrect a thread to ask a question that has been answered MANY times before? Use the search function and avoid looking stupid (again).

JJ never worked on the code for the 2k/xl, in answer to your question.

the reason is the same for why there wont be a JJOS for the mpc 60, the 3000, the 2000, the 2000xl, the 500, the 5000....


JJ was contracted by akai to make the OS for the 1000 and the 2500. akai ripped him off by not paying what he was owed. because of that JJ owned all his work he did and released it on his own and continued to work on it and make updated versions.... that way he would recoup some of the money he lost by not getting payed by akai.


... or so the story goes. He never had a hand in creating OSs for any other model to begin with therefore he was never given the material required to start working on those other models.... and he never will be given the material required ever to make something for those other models......


edit: just saw coz's post.... what he said

Preciate it man!, I didn't know that. I wonder why they could never get it work on the 2k or the xl but got it working on the 1k and the 2500.

I read the forums... saw the story posted piles of times in piles of threads asking the same exact question..... and some people here did research and found out the deal. The details may not be 100% accurate but either way JJ aint making an OS for any of the other models so...
