Looks like I’ll be shopping the second hand market for my Live replacement


Almost bought a 4000 locally a couple months ago for $900 but ended up buying new Focal's instead hah. I should see if he still has it up, it was one of those 'My car is dead and I need money' sales..

There is only one last MPC, the MPC3000!

I have owned/own the MPC60, MPC1000, MPC2000, MPC2000XL, MPC2500, MPC3000!
It's reliable as ****, never crash, has a sound of it's own and it got the looks/feel of pro grade gear.
If InMusic/Akai did a Rossum and make an MPC60/3000 remake they would sell out.

Then Roger Linn would sue their ass. AKAI/InMusic/Numark still owe him money. Why do you think they never say his name?

InMusic "Akai" has no clue how to put something together like the real Akai did with Linn back then. They can barely tack shitty software apps on top of an existing mobile platform. No way in hell they could design a box like the 60/3000 from the ground up like they did.

I have a feeling they dont have any of the docs or data relating to anything that old anyways.

So are you telling us that all of the beats, joy & music experience people had with MPCs other than the 3k was just their imagination :hmmm:

If you really believe that & I hope you was joking (please tell me you was joking) why are on this "fake" MPC page? :roll:

Dj khayos is the original mpc forum guru, ran the first mpc forum from over 20 years ago, where I first started learning about the mpc . No one would be here without his forum :worthy:


That makes what you said even worse & doesn't address my first point that you didn't quote: "So are you telling us that all of the beats, joy & music experience people had with MPCs other than the 3k was just their imagination?"

The last "real" MPC & all the reasons you gave is subject. Like the 3k having a sound of it own being a plus. The subjective reason why I liked the MPC1k/2500 was because as my main sampler it's sound was to me transparent, so what you put in is what you got out, then & if I wanted I could run the samples through another sampler that had character like my ASR-10 or SP-505 then back into the 1k/2500 without adding more character on top because it is transparent. So the 3k sound wasn't a plus for me (subjective).

Also I had like maybe 2 crashes on them so I wouldn't label them as unreliable but YMMV.
I also never felt like the 2500 felt unprofessional. The 1k with the messed pad is another story :Sigh:
But once solved & with JJOS I pick it over the 3k but that's subjective.

If this forum wasn't here we would be somewhere else. The internet is a big place. Your past contributions should be respected, but that doesn't give you a pass to project your subjective options as fact & not get any push back or expect anybody to kiss your ass. Sorry, maybe because I from Harlem NYC & we can be argumentative, I don't play that you know who I am Shi*, but that's subjective.

He wasn't asking to kiss his ass and he wasn't saying 'do you know who I am', I'm the one who pointed out who he was.

Anyway, whatever man, you do you.
