what is the difference, other in color/appearance, in the Roland 2kxl vs the Akais?


I have always been a fan of both Akai and Roland, just curious what all the hype is about.
Did Roland put anything into it that Akai didn't? Is the Orange MPC the only version that Roland put out??

Why can't I find any info about this elsewhere?


Why do I want to throw away my Akai branded MPC for the Roland one?


I hope you are being sarcastic..
There never was a MPC made by Roland, only Akai made them.

hahahaha might be the Roland 2000xl hybrid that takes samples and gives you better mileage off them...
kind of like the mr.fusion in back to the future... except the Obama uses the Roland 2000xl
too...
so it could make change if you give it dollar bills!

Okay, let me break it down to you bud because you are lost!!! The MPC 2000xl was, is and has only been manufactured by AKAI. There were different models produced such as Lampdog's SE3. There were also 2 other 2000xl models... the SE1 and SE2. Do a bit of research man. Google is cool! Roland manufactures the MV8000 and the MV8800. They are similar products but still different nonetheless. The fellas here are giving you a hard time and you're falling right into it. I'll admit, i was laughing too. But do some research dude. Google and Youtube are your friend. Peace.

There is this forum called www.mpc-forums.com, good fun and mighty informative, and then there is the manual, apparently the unread version is the one to go for since in contains all the answers to most noob questions. :)

dude, seriously...?

I know Roland makes the MV8000 and Akai, which I'm pretty sure is part of Sony, always made the MPC.
But, you know -- like car manufacturers do this all the time, where Mitsu Elipse is also the Eagle Talon, and the plymouth something-or-other. I thought the MV8000 was just the mpc-4000 with a different sticker.. am I wrong?


I almost got a Boss MPC 2000xl on ebay for like $140 the other day, but it looked like a cheap plastic version so I passed.



ok I will stop now. You guys are thinking im way too serious about all this madness.

i know what you mean... I was in the store the other day and almost bought a 2 litre of the red pepsi.


P.S. the talon has the mitsubishi 3000gt engine, and so does the dodge stealth.

My Roland MPC has a flux capacitor, and it runs at 1 point 21 Jiggawatts! The newer models have upgrades that allow them to be powered by garbage. Unfortunately the beats have to be set to 88 BPM for you to take your ish to the next level!!
