So yeah, you are writing a tall-tale :P Just buy what you really want; a different MPC model :wink:

It hurts doesn't it, seeing 1k users get daily OS updates with new features while you're still depending on Wakai for basic bugfixes.

Good luck replacing your defective 3k, hustla

Jahrome, I take it you dont like the 2500 much.

Its just that you always have mixed feelings about it. You either like it or you dont.

So whats the case?


No...its not as simple as that. Its a luv/hate relationship :lol: I actually like my 2500, especially since a 'bug' that I have had for awhile wasn't really a 'bug' at all. There is really nothing that prevents me from creating music with the 2500. But I keep it real. If I uncover something that I don't like, the forums are the first place you will hear about it.

Actually, I am not waiting for Akai to fix basic bug fixes. The MPC 2500 is solid for me now that I have found the source of my major problem.

While you are sorting through 'bugs' in hopes of getting the OS the 2500 already has, I am satisfied with my model. So yes, it hurts me to see 1K users having to sort through all this BS just to get an OS that makes the 1K worth using.

Thanks for the link, but I have every MPC 3000 on eBay already on my watch list.

And...before anybody catches feelings, I am just joking about the 1K...it is a great MPC :wink:

Only thing that bothered me about the 1k OS was the Amp Env bug.
That's fixed with 3.0, i'm satisfied.
I'm making tracks while you're figuring out how a sustain pedal works :lol:

If you were satisfied, you would not be hanging around here in the 2500 forum (doing everything but making tracks)..still wishing for one :P

Good try at a joke..but I know how a sustain pedal works. I just didn't realize that the sustain pedal was connected to the keyboard in addition to that, I didn't know it was broken sending sustain messages even when the pedal is not pressed :roll:

SO now, the biggest headache has been resolved, I can't wait for the next new MPC arrives so I can cop one just to joke with the 4000 users that are trying to program their own OS :lol: :lol:

Anyway...good luck with your MPC 1000. Not matter what you guys do with it/or to it...it will never be an MPC 2500 :wink:

One more thing.....

How are you going to brag about daily OS updates which basically fix things that the OS broke in the first place :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I read all the forums, just like you hang around in the other forums with your played out MPC vs MPC jokes.

Bravo, you know how a sustain pedal works! You just didn't realize it was connected...and broken. :roll: Making progress.

You've got some reading up to do. The new OS didn't break anything, it's adds functions and some of them need to be fine tuned. That's why it's called beta.
As a 2500 user you should know about beta testing.

I am not a keyboardist...my daughter is. Its her sustain pedal and no, I didn't realize it was connected. Sorry dude....you are too late for jokes because I already made fun of myself when I discovered what the problem was :lol:

Those daily OS updates did fix things that was already working in the first place...I didn't have to read up..it was right there in the link you provided.

Dude..don't catch feelings..its ok. I am just joking. You need a hug. But go ahead and continue using your beta OS...

Sure, blame your daughter... Who's in control of the studio?

Sorry, read again. Those are all fixes for bugs related to new functions. Get yourself a 1k just for fun, mr bigshot. Maybe then you'll know what you're talking about.

Catch feelings? :lol: I know this is your idea of having fun and how you always like to have the last word.
Isn't it you who's desperately looking for a hug at the moment? ...well at least you still have your trusty MPC.

Yes, i will continue using the beta. I'm about to install the version that was released yesterday. How about you, when did Wakai gave you your last fix?

I didn't know you were that interested. So to answer your question..there is no one in 'control' of the studio. Who ever is in the studio first is in control.

Why do I need to get a 1000 to know what I am talking about? Why would I even want with a 1000? Yeah, you are catching feelings. I am sorry to insult your first piece of gear. I would have probably done the same thing in defending my first real piece. So please accept my apology for talking trash about that thing we are talking about.

Yes, please do install the latest beta so you can report it and download the next beta tomorrow. Cool. Since you read all the forums, you know when the MPC 2500 received the last OS. The 2500 does exactly what I need it too and then some. Too bad you can't say the same in regards to your model.

Next?

My first piece of gear? :lol: If only you knew.
I'm not the type who feels the need to brag about his gear and post fancy pics of his 'project studio'. That doesn't mean the 1k is my first piece of gear, dummy.

Your 2500 does exactly what it needs to do... Funny, one month ago you were ready to sell it, but you stumbled upon your daughter with her broken pedal and now everything is solved. Next time get her a decent pedal, hustla.

Good, i see you've finally done some reading on the 1k OS. Thanks for posting that bug fix list. This proves that you were wrong about the OS breaking things that were originally working.
Latest version is more stable then the average Wik-Wik-Wakai OS you're waiting for. With plenty of short-cuts that you don't even have. But you wouldn't know, you're to cheap to get your kids that 'great MPC' as a toy.

Yeah...I really do understand how frustrated you are. Ease back off the computer slowly son. Don't do something you will regret :D

I posted the so-called 'fancy pics' in the Studio Pic thread. That is what it is there for, no? But I am a hip-hop cat. Some talk about their diamong grills or their cars...I just wanted to show my studio..excuse me..my kids and my studio :P

Correction...one month ago I was ready to replace it because..a unique system test error (the latest OS fixes that) and the note duration 'bug' (my error)...so what's your point? I replace (not just sell) items that don't fit my needs..because I can. There is nothing that would make me want to get what you are using. Implying I want one is ludacris :lol:

Silly dude..if I knew the pedal was broken, I would have replaced it already. Don't worry about her. I am about to give her back-to-school gifts that will enhance her music instrument collection....Fretlight Guitar and a violin. Don't hate....

Actually the bug list proves nothing. Every single bug is not reported in the bug list of any company. And that list does not say that the bugs are specific to enhancements. If you want to continue to dream about the 1000 being superior to the 2500..by all means, continue to do so. Enjoy your poor man's MPC as much as you like. My son wants an alto-sax. He will have it this week. If he wanted an MPC, I would buy him a 2500 or 2000XL. I don't have time trying to glue a piece of gear back together. He would need something that he can bang away on and it not break.

So if you do that math (you can add right)....That is at least $1400 in musical instruments for the kids...another $1K to finish school clothes shopping....a couple hundred for my college books....you already seen the pics of my new double monitor set-up.... :shock: :shock: Wow..that is a grip of cash. Don't you wish you parents took/take your music ambitions serious :P I still have room in my heart for a foster kid. You are potty trained right? I don't feel like going through that again. I will probably just lay out some newspapers for you.
