LOL!! I do have that glow about me, Ill!!
And you're right Danoc , I do look like its my first MPC!! 3 vodka/cokes later, this is the face you get!!
Been rockin' em since 09, 25K, 500 (still got both), & now onto Live & 2.0!!
Plan to use it pretty much standalone, so it'll pretty much live in a bag.
But gotta admit, It blew me out the water when I got it.

I have to agree. When I first dug into the Live, it was like a breath of fresh air and was a lot of fun exploring the machine. I never felt that way since my first sampler, the Roland MS-1, since 1996. :nod:

Those are the MPCstuff.com XL screens for the 1k and 2500. Only works with the new JJOSXL. I think they still sell them, gotta mod your MPC though.

The 2500 with JJ OS XL is a serious machine, honestly.
It literally has only *one* thing about it that made me sold mine: you can't preview sounds on the HD while your song is playing.
Did make some serious music on that machine, though…had one twice.
At some point I realized being able to browse for fitting samples while my beat was playing became very important for my sound, into which I love bringing in some random things that fit well but which you wouldn't have thought of if you didn't browse as you go.
Live lets me do that.

@ Danoc: hahaha!! Fanu already knows he lost this one..rofl!!
Yeah, I get that feeling too, Ill. It's been a minute since I first dived into that 25K manual, & that excited look on my face when I realised what it could achieve!! Just a missed opportunity that JJ didn't design the OS, & MPCstuff didn't design the hardware!! If Akai were really serious about the LIve/X being what amounts to " Maschine killers" , then that would've been the way to go!! Just imagine how dope they would've been!!
But, I ain't mad at 'em, Not with that grin!!

Off to make some noise now,
Later all.. 8) 8)

PS: @starmanwarz: You're right about that jogwheel, bro!!
