Hi there,

I'm new here and I hope I'm posting in the right section.

I lost my mpc1000 (someone stole it) recently. I had everything backup at home on my computer (samples, prog, etc).

My question is this: Can I use the tracks that I've made and backed up on another mpc (hardware or software) and they will sync up and preform the exact same way as my mpc1000?

I cannot afford right now to buy another mpc1000, so if there's any cheap hardware or software out there that you know of that I can use to import my songs, please let me know

I currently have a Maschine and my DAW is Logic 9 (if that helps)

Thanks in advance!

Would the Akai MPC Element work? Would it be able to read my old projects from my mpc1000 that I saved on my computer?

That sucks that someone ganked your mpc.

Not sure if the element will open a mpc prj and how well it would work because the element is only one track...
Also the mpc software/element doesn't translate %100 of thelegacy stuff.. Although its pretty good.. Depending on what you have going on in your sequences and pgms you'd have to do a bit of tweaking.. Here's a vid that may help but not sure with the element software..

OP clearly states cannot afford right now.

yeah... i can only afford something close to 200 or 300 hundred right now

MPC 1000s on ebays are going for over 550 right now

and... i tried with maschine but it will only bring up the program but not the sequence, which in the end is what i need

if MPC Studio can do this, then I'll be somewhat able to afford this over a used mpc 1000

i'd like to say again, thank you all for your help. truly appreciate it :)

Can you export sequences as midi? Maybe that will help.
Along with the program the whole thing might load up. I don't have a maschine, I don't know, just asking.
