The **** takes like 5 mins to Autoload.

You can't audition samples from HD (library) with pads? Dumb ****.

$2500 with No CD Drive installed? A fool and his/her money will part quick!

**** is big as hell.

Them extra Qlinks just jumble up the machine and the parameter screens suck ass. Gui needs work. Grid Edit is LAME! Notes looked cramed on the sceen.

Too much **** ontop the machine.

The screen got a bunch of wasted space and looks like ****. The contrast knob is in a dumb place.

The yellow/orage leds don't give the machine that new look.

The Main screen is useless. The dots look stupid.

This **** is corny.

IDGAF what yall say.

You have got to be the biggest MPC 5G hater (the reason why I say that is because you hate in all the other mpc 5000 threads about other peoples problems or etc...), but thats your opinion.... by the way, the machine only takes under 2 minutes to load up...

This is funny how people are taking this new MPC sooooo personal.... never seen so much hatin(well besides 50 cent) but da.mn.... its only a MPC 5000, either you like it or not.... Seems like yall are about to start talkin about people Mama's in a minute or somethin

I mean, yall got the MPC yall wont, or you sold it too whom ever to get rid of it.... I mean, if some of yall just want a computer, D.amn, go and by one, and actually purchase the software for what it takes to run the computer, and dont forget the MIDI controller, do what ya do, thats your business, but some of yall are really trippin on a new MPC. Those of us that bought it, apparently we are satisfied at the moment, and until those of us that become unsatisfied, im sure most of us have an ebay account and a great digital camera.

They still have MPC 4000's on ebay and brand new in some stores stillllll.....

Im sorry, but i have never been a person to complain over someone elses "problem that yall claim we have." Instead, I do sh..t like I did when I owned my MPC 2000XL, and worked on others 3000, 4000, and 2500.... Take ya a$$ to the computer to finish what you cant, or whatever other processor you need to make it happen...

I completely agree with you. This forum does have some of the biggest haters.

@Sovereign, I am free to express my opinion like the rest of you...haters The only difference between me and the rest of you is that I actually own/owned the products we are talking about. Of course I will joke through things because these threads are jokes. Don't get all emotional discussing a topic that really isn't too deep.

So if you don't like Akai/Numark or their products....don't buy them.

Yea, thats the funny part, they are taking what we bought too serious... I mean, hey, I have pretty much already made my money back off of the product... im trying to choose now between a Motif XS rack or waiting on that Fantom G rack, versus the lil bugs in my MPC

Actually you know what.... to solve all of these problems.... why dont everyone just go spend about $4,000 on a Neko or a Miko........ It will fix everything... and you can get the MIDI drum pad to accompany it. If yall want that all in one fix.

That is the difference. This is MP 5000 is the best MPC to date IMHO which is exactly what I said about the MPC 2500 years ago. These higher end MPCs keep getting better. The 5K removes what I didn't care for in the MPC 4000, and added what I loved in the MPC 3000/2500....and even more.

So if people are still in the market for hardware sampler/sequencer/drum machines than the MPC 5000 will do just fine. So retire your old MPCs and step up to the latest model....after the next OS update(s).

This I can agree with most! _ CoSign!

I just hope that they can and do fix the bugs in the MPC5000 and don't leave the 5k users hangin to fend for themselves like Alesis did with the Fusion. If they can fix the 5k's bugs then I know they can fix the Fusions.

Askia Shaheed wrote:So the blue MPC 2000XL is a knock off as well? Some people say that any MPC after the MPC 3000 is a knock-off but doesn't stop hits from being created with them. As with any product....if you buy it and it doesn't work as advertised....send it back. The original MPC 4000 is not some 'most sought after' piece of gear. You guys are talking as if the original MPC 4000 didn't have any issues. (piss...it did). The Alicia Keys production studio I wrote about above has the blue model. Based upon what she and her production team does with that (as well as the MPC 2500)..having a knock-off should impact you guys very little.

Also...who are the MPC big movers you are talking about? Any MPC big mover using an MPC 2500 will be using an MPC 5000 shortly.(which is what I wrote about the MPC 2500 when it was released). Remember these words. It's a shame you guys have to stand on the sideline looking in.

Funny how you always try to joke through things and even worst act like you have ever been to a studio other than in magazines.
The Blue XL was out of production before Numark took over and the only 4k's manufactured by Numark are easy to recognize they are blue, have a different color scheme for the buttons, grey pads, different CD Rom, different hard drive, different cooling fan and don't include the digital I/O as they should.

Funny how you always talk about Alicia Keys and her MPC when her music direction has little to do with MPC type production.
Just because you see a person with a piece of gear doesn't tells you how they are using it.
Lamp said you had been acting more intelligent since you got the 5k but we all knew it was a matter of time before you went back to being Jahrome.

So are your comments about the Blue XL fact or something you just made up?

Because...I recall Numark taking over Akai in 2004.......the press release says 1 July 2004. I know for a fact that the blue MPC 2000XL-MCD was released in Oct/Nov 2004 in Japan and was not available in the US until late that year or early the next year. I know this because I bought one as soon as it was released in Japan and saved the new OS 1.2 on disk (which wasn't available for download) and tried to sell it on eBay. VST service contacted me to get the OS (because they didn't have it)..which I emailed to them in exchange for a favor. So your information is completely false. The blue XL was being produced even after Numark acquired Akai. So next time you try to take shots at someone..get your facts straight. And try talking about an MPC you actually own.

As far as Alicia Keys...do you actually listen to her CDs? The MPCs she has in her studio are not collecting dust. They are very much apart of her sound. You could place in piece of equipment in her studio. But why the MPC 4000 and 2500? When you figure out the answer....come back and apologize.

Man can`t we just focus on the music. Opinions, opinions, opinions. ha, ha, ha.

A machine does what you program it to do simple.


If you can program it that is and there is a big difference in users that can!!!

Yes kids please focus on music and stop your sarcasms.

We are tired about the bla bla bla about NUKAI

If you don t like the MPC5000 just shut up & go on another forum

If you like it then share your experiences & tips about it

THAT S ALL WE WANT

No bullshits please kids

Those XL's were from the acquired Akai stock and production, when Numark actually started a production run it was the later 4k's and that's when the appearance and spec changed.
The early blue 4k's and the Numark blue 4k's have a different appearance and changed some internals.
I don't know what Alicia Keys you listen to but her sound is not MPC oriented.
Unless something has changed Kerry uses the MPC more than Alicia that's why it's there.

No **** please kids

Thats why im tryna stop all this stupid sh..t they leaving on here... You got people that use the machine for a few mintues and read the specs... ok cool, you dont like it from there. But on another hand, you got people that wanna hear from other users or people who have bought and already sold there machines to give what they did and didnt like about it.

Im just saying, Keep it real... instead on here talkin about dumb $hit...

Thats one reason why we cant keep any Akai reps on here for real.... to many Bull$hitters, talking about nonthing... and its crowding the thread wit junk
