[I can't front I've had an MPC 1000 for about 3 years now, and I need to have a couple of beats made by the end of the summer or I'll feel like I've blasphemed the Boom Bap gods. ]

Any reasoning behind this? How long did it take for you to "master" the machine? (As in you were comfortable getting your ideas out onto it, and everything fit into the sound you were trying to create)

Before upgrading to jjos i had issues with the akai os, 2.13 it was fukking broken. Chopping was a pain in that update.

With the jjos 2xl everything was so faster and easier to use. I use to take the 1000 on my lunch break in the car and bang out joints.

Now i want a 5k or Ren for the bigger screen/tilt, larger pads, more banks, easier tracking out.

I forgot to mention that i have the old mpc 1000 with the bad pads so its a ticking timebomb.

^^^^^^^

I've been with the AKAI OS and have messed with the mpc here and there, but I don't know why I just can't get the "feel" that I'm looking for. (Understandably, I def. need more practice on it.) My other question is, should I pull the trigger on the JJ OS? Are the free downloads of JJ worth it?

Get the free one, you can always go back to akai os if you want. The free one is status. You can even save on it. I rocked the free one for 6 months before I paid for the OSXL one.


Just practice your timing man,with JJOS you can use the grid edit to nudge the notes back in place like FLSTUDIO step sequencer or any other modern daw.

Watch out for time stretching on the 1000 it's

^^^^^^

Damm man I think ima cave into the hype of the JJ OS I've been overthinking it since I got the damm MP

Time stretching another elusive concept of the MP... When I've enabled that feature, I've used it as another way to make the sample sound diff. when I mess with the pitch. AKA don't understand the music concepts that come from mastering an MPC.

Yeah I'm waiting on the Ren

The 1000's getting a bigger screen!!!

Akai MPC Forums - mpc 1000 tilt screen : MPC Customisation & Studio DIY Projects

day-one purchase for me when it's available

They're doing one for the 2500, too...

JJOS2XL is amazing, as well. I also replaced the pads on my 1000, pad replacements make that machine about 5 times better.

Love my 1000

Saw that last week, but they said it doesn't tilt though.

 

[Cal Cutta]

yeah it looks like they just keep it in a perma-tilted position, which doesn't bother me at all
