Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500

mpc tutor, you have a wonderful post comparing the 1000 vs 2kxl vs 4k. A similar post on the 2500 would do wonders for people deciding on which mpc to fork over there hard earned dough.

A lot of people list specs, but specs don't really make up a machine. An instrument is greater than the sum of its parts. Your post made me realize that the 1k was perfect for me except that it has no compatibility with the 2kxl. the 2500 seems to improve on this.

as the akai mpc offering diversifies, I feel like a kid in a candy shop (not that lame place 50 raps about)

Can't u simply just read everything everyone easy about all the machines and add up all the info yourself? That's what I'd do, that's just me though.

Or maybe just maybe contact Akai since they could have the answers.

when the new OS for the 1k drops, i will post a side by side comparison of the 2.5k, 1k and the 4k.

It seems Akai heard my plea and has a nice side-by-side comparo on specs. Just go to "products" then download the PDF "mpc comparison chart."

It'd still be nice to have someone who all these machines compare them. Furthermore, I believe the comparo bases the 1k on its current abilities b/c it doesn't mention reverse/delay, which I believe will be added with the new OS. HOpefully, akai will update this comparo when the new OS drops.

that's the one that i am speaking about ^^^ but it will not be accurate when the new 1k os drops. it will be updated then.
