So i've asked people about the JJ os and I wanted to know the main different between the JJ and the standard one. Some people tell me to get to know the standad one first and then make the transition. any suggestions?

Don't listen to some people.

...and when you put that JJ OS on there, don't forget to format all drives with it, as the original Akai OS formating is well known to cause data corruption.

The JJOS hasmore functions than the Akai OS. It hasproven to be more stable as well. When I first started(Nov 07) I refused to get the JJOS because I thought it was some RONCO type sh!t.... But after reading and reading some more, I got the free version and loved it. Then I got JJ OS1 and haven't felt aneed for anything else yet.. So 4 months on the JJOS1 and I am very happy with it.

The free version is leaps and bounds better than the Akai OS (At least it was or me), but there is a newversion of AkaI'S os, and that mayhave improved it enough to stick with it, but I have no idea...... Sofar, I am gonna say that the JJOS's are worth the money. At least it is as you get your exp level up.

I wouldrecommend getting 3.08 (Free JJOS) right away. This is just my opinion, and I do not have alot of exp with all of this, so take it lightly... Do more research and make sure you are making the right decision for yourself.

I recently purchased the mpc-1000 and I have installed the JJ-OS 4.99, and I am telling you it has been working great so far. The difference with the Standard OS, and I don't know if AKAI has fixed that with there latest OS, is that with JJ-OS i can go up to 300000 events just like it's bigger brothers. Check out this link there is a comparison chart that explains everything http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/chart.htm

The JJ OS kinda seems like you're just using the parts you paid $700+ for on some free software. Kind of like buying a new Mac and then running linux on it. The software IS the MPC, the rest of that stuff is just inputs and converters you could put together yourself for cheaper. So I say, if you're going to use the JJ OS, why not just dl cubase for free and not get an mpc?

Also does anyone know of any differences between the akai os and the jj one? I know it looks different and has more features but what I'm asking is swing different, is the timing different, etc. If you made the same beat soup to nuts with both OS would they come out different? And don't just say "yes noob" you zombies, has anyone actually tested it?

dude i would btch slap you if you said that in person :shock: . an mpc is an mpc for 16 PADS first and foremost. and that comparison is so fcking wrong and stupid that i doubt you've done anything more than cried in a corner thinking about jj os.

I personally dont care what choice you make. Its not anyones job here to sell the OS to you. The JJOS is better than the AKAI os. Make your own comparison and decide. Easy. Oh and comparing downloading cubase to an MPC with the JJOS....shows you havent researched anything "engineer".
