Is the MPC1000 what I'm looking for?

Sorry to keep posting in this thread.
But I found a used MPC1000 for $450. Though, it's the blue and red version. Are their any problems I should look into? Should I buy brand new?

i bought mine second hand for around the same price.
theres always a risk in purchasing second hand though
as long as its only faulty pads you can buy the new ones seperate for around $180
whichs sums up cheaper than buying it brand new.

the mpc1000 is what everyone is looking for.

whether they know it or not.

whether they make music or not.



no but for real, do research before you ask questions. it's just better. not saying this is a bad thread or you're being obnoxious. you're all good. but i learned the 1000 hardcore way before i bought it by reading, not just asking the questions i thought up. chances are if they popped up for you they prolly popped up for a lot more people when they first got turned on. if you have questions about certain aspects of it, like how it saves stuff, how to chop samples, how it's all layed out, etc then READ. you can find the manual online. i read that thing a ton like a month before i bought it. very good decision. and then its like "oh snap i can expand the memory and get jj os? grid edit, what? ahhh it all makes sense now" WORD.

Sorry. There's just so many options whether I want an Akai, Korg, Roland.. etc. Then going through models of each brand. Thanks for the suggestion about the manual.

man to each his own but if you're looking into a sampler. akai is the only way to go. my opinion. i'm sure if you went to the korg or roland sampler forum it would be a ghost town compared to this one. think about it
