yout bring your 1k with you to school and ish, right??

yeah man almost every day just got to be careful

but really the thing is built like a tank
just get a good case for it.

unfortunately i've really gotten into using midi to control reason so all my beats are basically on my pc, not on my mpc...all i get is empty midi notes!!!

that's why i always work on a couple projects at once, some are strictly sampler rock, all samples and shit - the rest are sound module beats

eventually they find a balance

but damn i wish i could lug around my pc, maybe put Reason into my head and plug myself into my mpc w/ a midi cable
shit would be dope

well at least its official official

wow thats crazy.......chop shop too...... ......hopefully it will be out after the show........i dont know about $1400......kinda steep

That $1400 price is the MSRP or list price. I doubt they will be going for that much...most likely cost about $1,000.

But I am all for expensive gear

Anyone hear about Roland's new MC-808. Seems like Roland wants to compete for the MPC 1000 crowd.

OOpps...already another thread about this...

yall are so slow, the retail price of the 1k is ALREADY 1499..........

The MSRP on the original MPC 1000 is/was $1499 also, so the BK will probably be selling at around $999, same as the red one is selling for now.

I was going to order a MPC 1k today, because I found a deal to get it at $895 new. What do you guys think? Should I buy it or wait?

Get it, what if 1499 is the real price? then what.

ok i get it................

still no f'ing date

so when should we expect the blk 1k to be selling in the u.s.

this is from the harmony central write up on os2

"The update, which coincides with a cosmetic change (from blue to black) for new units, is available free of charge from the company's website and includes a number of significant enhancements that facilitates greater versatility from this popular compositional tool"

notice the free of charge part... so how is akai evil now??

let the flame war begin!

hmmmm interesting


what makes me not like akai is lack of communication

akai is for the children

all i cna think about is my dead pads

maybe its cause i have the ongoing assumption i'll never see os2.

so if it ever does make an appearance, that day will b ea happy day, but no dissapointment untill then i guess
