I strongly doubt there are any pirated or replicated units on the market. It would be interesting but highly unlikely.

i was thinking about a first production of mpc1000 in japan and a second and later on in china (maybe after bankrupt of akai)

hey are personal thoughts... nobody here has a mpc 1000 with made in japan on the retro?

I've even seen some S-series samplers made in China. Somewhere in the late 90's that happened... most likely around the time Roger Linn stopped working for Wakai.

there are rumours that electronics made in china is built by cheap labour and cheap componets and is basicly shit and will break beacuse of this.
