any 2500 heads gonna buy a 5000?

im not looking to buy anything now im happy with what i got but im just wondering coz i love the 25 i dont feel the need for the 5000. if anything the 4000 seems more worth it? what do yall think?

Add JJ OSXL and Reason as your sound module and you pretty much got a MPC5000 and then some. I'm stayin' with the 2500

The 2500 with any JJ OS > 5000

5000 is wack. Straight up...

MPC comparison forum?

^^^^ win!


i have both the 2500 and the 1k and i wouldnt trade any in for the 5k. if JJ developed for the 5k then maybe but highly unlikely i love both machines and since i had a ton of synths dont need a 5k

Hell NO!! Why would we?

thats pretty harsh. i know there are problems with the os but can you elaborate further on why you think its wack?

1. The price
2. Chop Shop 2.0 is not as good as the JJ chopping system
3. The synth in it is okay
4. My opinion: Im not a fan of the blue screen and dont like how stuff is layed out on the screen
5. OS is still not stable
6. The work flow is easier on a 2500 with any JJOS

Why blow that much dough on gear that doesnt work to its potential and probably wont be till a few years from now. The 2500 & the 1000 with any of the JJOS's works flawless. These guys paired up with the JJOS are easily some of the best samplers out.

The onboard VA synth is what ruins it for me. That and the fugly plastic parts of the case.

true that.. i just thought it would be halfway decent and considering the price you pay for it, not a 'wack' machine. ive never intended on getting one though... 2500 all the way for me, when i get the moula that is

i'm just not a fan of the 5k. at all. i'm actually going to a 500 soon enough. cuz i'm gunna be on the road. portable mini studio = yes.

definitely not. i don't hate the 5000 or anything, it's just i'm real happy with the jjos2 and the 2500.

there's nothing i can't do on it and i'm the type that stays with a configuration for ages once i've found the right pieces to the puzzle.

I found a 3500 for a good price and will now sell my 2500. Not that I did't like the 2500 but, having a 3500 is pretty damn cool. The 3500 also has nice black plastic on the front and sides compared to a 5000 bronze plastic crap.
