^^^^^^^^
Exactly. why would i pay more for a 2500 if i could get a mv8k for a lower price? i don't understand it. this update is about 2-3 year too late.

WDJ this Does Seem KOOL BUT....................................



Two internal effects processors can be used
simultaneously. This includes a wide range of
effects algorithms, such as reverb, bit
grunger, chorus, phasers, flying pan, 4-band
EQ, compressor, and a phase shifter.
Real-time control is provided by two note
variation sliders and two Q-Link knobs. Q-link
knobs can be separately assigned to allow
flexible, real-time performance control of a
wide variety of selectable parameters. These
parameters include level, pan, filter cut-off and
resonance, tuning, LFO(low frequency
oscillator) speed depth, all effect parameters
and more.



Altough I See the 4-Band EQ WHERE O WHERE IS THE HI-PASS AND BAND-PASS Filters................................

Please Tell ME They Didn't Omit that FILTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x AGAIN!!!!!!!

I can promise you guys that the new 2500 will not cost over $1700 USD! It is a mid level piece, basic economics, you have the 1000 at $1000, and the 4000 at 2500, so they will place the 2500 in between those two, I am guessing at about $1700 USD!


Dowe :)

But the mpc2000xl mcd is already sellinf or $1700.00 usd. So I'm guessing they will be selling this for alittle bit more than that. Probaly closer to 2g's.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH AKAI, UP IN RODE ISLAND. WHAT EVERYONE READ AND SAW IS TRUE 100%. THE MPC2500 IS THE REAL DEAL AND WILL BE THE CROSS BETWEEN THE 2XL AND THE 4000. LEAVING THE 1000 AS THE ENTRY LEVEL LITTLE BROTHER.

THIS IS WHAT MY CONTACT OVER AT AKAI HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE 2500 (i sent him the pic and the spec sheet that is on this site and he came back with corrections/adjustments to it)



Sup sparq?



Yep. That’s the beast. Specs look correct.



You can add a CDRW/80GBHard Drive

Comes standard with 8+2 outs (10)

2midi in 4 midi out

Expandable to 128mb of RAM (way more than 32mb of the MPC2k)

(same ram as the 1K)

Compatible with pretty much every format.

I don’t know who your supplier is, but he did his homework!



Thanks bud.

oh, by the way.... an os update for the 1000 looks like it will not happen until either the end of this year or the beginning of the 1st quarter 2006

Dennison, if I was a photoshop man, I woulda done this a long time ago, but since I'm not, I'ma suggest it.

Ya'll should start another thread here in off topic with that pic of Petey holding anything BUT an MPC......like toasters, laptops, a huge waffle....ANYTHING that you can fit in that between his hand and knee and have him pointing at it......that would be great!! :lol:
