Are your mpc's lagging when it comes to finishing makeing a beat and when its time to export it to MAINOUT it lags when you push [mode] record? i mean like a lag that doesnt enter the record menu for like 20 seconds. When i do it to sample it loads fine but when im done making a quick song it lags when i bring up record menu to transfer it.

Yeah man, I've had that same problem for months. I wish they hurry and fix it in the 2.01 release.

no, i've had lags in 1.07. not 20secs, but sometimes i'll get a a lag of a few secs b4 it'll drop into record or play. only been noticing this recently. my mpc is falling apart these days.

-occasional lagging ^^
-pads unresponsive
-sides coming off (easy fix)
-sometimes the extract/discard decides it doesnt want to work

i like working on an mpc, but i've only had one little over a year and its already having problems. i've looked after it fairly well to, which is putting me off picking up a 2500.

mpc1k is a great tool, im not sure it designed or assembled as well as it should have been tho.

this is beginning to piss me off.

THE MPC1000 IS THE CHEAPEST MPC AVAILABLE

DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO STICK A **** QUAD PENTIUM 8 IN THERE WITH 3000 MB OF RAM??

and by the way, the processor is 133 mhz.

why would you get pissed off with people because they have lagging issues on their mpc?

you think because its the cheapest in the range that this doesnt matter?

:?

£600 for a piece of hardware isnt cheap. when i spend this kind of money, personally, i want the product to function well (at very least for a fair bit longer than 1 year).

as soon as you buy the "cheapest" of anything, you don't get expectations, you get what you pay for.

and i don't recall akai marketing the mpc 1000 as lag free.

:roll:

you think its unreasonable that i should expect a £600 drum sampler to function correctly and not to start falling apart after a year.

ok.

no. because i have patience.

face it, we're all using a BOTTOM OF THE RANGE PRODUCT, don't expect jesus to come down and speed the **** up.

it was akai's decision to design the 1k as they did, YOU BOUGHT IT.

you havent had lagging, unresponsive pads or the discard/extract stop functioning because you have patience.

ok.
