    Compatibility PC or MAC perfect.

    UTILIZATION

    Precisely, the advantage lies in the MPC compared to other "samplers / sequencers," I find it really intuitive, someone invested in work will manage the machine perfectly great 4 months max after anything at the creativity is another story .. But what is "know your machine", the MPC is really easy to access the menus are simple. The manual is also clear throughout.

    SOUNDS

    As said above, no specific style of music. At the sound, well, yeah, it sounds! You put a "chack boom boom" in your GPA, it will remain a "chack boom boom" after level to really "sound" your sound, make clean (make a prod pro anything), it leads to the " mastering ", which is another story, and the same for all machines ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about a 1 year and a half, and I enjoy it like crazy, because of its "intuitive" as mentioned above. You can easily get a create a beat if we modicum of creativity. Value for money (600euro for me) seems honest. I would do this choice without hesitation, because it allowed me (being great beginner) to understand the basics of creating a beat. I tried to SP505 rolland before buying, and I totally preferred MPC1000. In addition, it is a great sampler! I use ableton parallel machine, and I NEVER sample above, still on my MPC! Since it has a "line IN CAR, I plugged my turntable over and sample loops from vinyl (besides the work loop itself is also intuitive). Basically if you're thirsty creation ( intuitive) in which you used your fingers instead of a mouse and a keyboard, GO!

    UTILIZATION

    The use seems complicated at first, but the instructions are very clear. Examples help in understanding and quickly understood if we agree to consider it seriously. Obviously, we need a little time to master the machine and understand in its entirety, but with a little practice, you realize that the machine is intuitive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have my mpc 1000 for 1 year but I have not found the time to use it for a few months. I admit I had a little trouble at the beginning to immerse myself in the record, as it is imperative to read it if you never had a machine like this before, but after some effort I am completely satisfied . What I like most is the ease and speed with which one can sample (when understood of course). This becomes even fun to assign your own samples on the pads and play them.
    Regarding the price, I've always found the price of such devices a little high, but the mpc offer many possibilities. It can be used in different ways. The fact that mpc can replace many other devices in the home studios may justify the price.
    It does nevertheless a great versatile machine which is essential for all fans of sampling.

    MPC is a classic machine , not just for hip hop either

    Akai Professional MPC1000Published on 03/04/12 at 20:53
    The Mpc 1000 is a midi production beat machine that a lot of producers have become quite fond of over the years. I have been using MPC’s for about 10 years now, all the way back to the original big grey box MPC 2000. But at the end of the day not much has really changed from mpc to mpc , there are a few different ones out now. But the 1000 really changed the game, because its really affordable for producers. Other mpc’s can cost up to 5000 dollars. That’s a little outrageous to me, especially with all the same functions are available in software now.

I have used the MPC 1000 black and the original blue one. Only difference to me is the operating system in them. The Black model has the updated version and this one doesn’t.


    UTILIZATION

    There is no need for a manual if you are already use to how the mpc works. The 1000 will be a breeze if you are use to them. If its new to you, then you will need the manual, because its nothing like using a software. There are a ton of options and sub menus to navigate through.


    SOUNDS

    Sounds are ok, You will def. have to add your own kits (drums). Because the stock kits just flat out aren't that good! But once you load your own kits you will get a nice gritty sound!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I love the whole MPC brand, the 1000 makes it really affordable for us on a budget. BUT, the 1000 will not compete with the more expensive models for several reasons. One reason is that the screen is so small and basic, you can really get lost going from on menu to the next. Or trying to do your chops on a little barely green lit screen that makes it really hard and strains your eyes. Also, the 1000’s pads arent as nice as the more expensive models. But If you can look past those issues you will LOVE it! Trust me its worth the buy, plus they go for around 800 on eBay now. But don’t expect the prices to drop any less than that. The MPC’s hold their value really well!

    Love it

    Akai Professional MPC1000Published on 11/27/11 at 22:17
    The MPC 100 is full of great features. Usb, effects, 3 filters (high,low and band pass), up to 128 mb of ram, and you can save to compact flash cards. It is missing timestrecth and zoning but those can be done outside of the mpc via computer. I don't necessarily do either cause when I want to change the speed of my sample I'm used to just pitching it down and also the extract feature is very easy to get used to. (The extract feature does the same thing as zoning basically).

    This mpc is very, very easy to use. Some things I needed the manual to figure out. But most of the stuff I figured out on my own. I wish they would've made the layout more like the 60's though. Plus the stock sounds on it are horrible, you will def need to upload your own kits as soon as you power it up. Do not use any of the stock kits and sounds. They are very unprofessional and everyone will be able to tell you used the stock kits.


    SOUNDS

    It has a nice quality sound. It doesn't sound as warm and thick as other samplers I have messed with but, when you know what your doing you can make it sound really warm and thick. Basically it doesn't anything extra to the sound like lower bit rate samplers do. What you put in is what you get back out.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I really love the MPC 100 because it was my first but I think I might be upgrading soon. Everything just seems so hard to do on a little screen, that makes it very hard. But for the price you really cant beat it. You get a MPC (legendary machine) for a low price and can still do almost everything the others can. But It.

    Great sampler from akai

    Sample Editing features

    UTILIZATION

    This box is the newer version of the akai Mpc 3000,60,2000,2000xl,4000 etc. It's good for making any type of music you can think of but its popular and known for creating hiphop or any other 4/4 timing genre of music. It's one of those units that is only as good as the user is.

    Manual wasn't too great imo if you can search online there are plenty of companies who have created manuals for musicians they run around $20.00

    SOUNDS

    Can't really rate or judge the sounds as erased the preset/stock sounds that came with my unit but I can comment on the A/D converters which are clean. This unit does not sound as warm as the mpc 60 or the mpc 3000 but you can get the unit to sound just as warm by importing warm sounds into. So with that said if you were to run all your sounds off an S950 then into the mpc 1000 you'd be in business.

    The onboard FX are basic but really clean and useful as well as simple to use.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is a great unit especially for those who want a modern aged akai mpc. It's quality has some great onboard features. The pads (depending on which verion you get) suck and break down really fast. There is a pad upgrade kit you can buy on ebay though that fixes the issue.

    The failing pads are normally on the Blue Mpc 1000 the Black Mpc 1000s are fine.. I don't like the stock OS that comes with the Mpc 1000 so you'd might want to look into upgrading to the JJSO series which turn the mpc 1000 into a Mpc 2500

    UTILIZATION

    Not obvious at the beginning, even for an expert in "machine", they have not the same resonance that most synth manufacturer akai.En in fact it is mostly made to be used in master and not esclave.les users cubase sequencer or other pc / mac might be a lot derouts.On can not filter the information that goes into twelve o'clock twelve o'clock mpc1000.Synchro abroad as a slave to Cubase and I think it's worse.

    No possibility to delete events in real time, have to stop the current song to do so.

    We must also stop the sequencer to load new samples.

    Not only have recess of the machine live. (But also good for most, but even more so than I think).

    It should connect and disconnect the USB cable when you want to load the memory card and restart the machine can be in the long run the USB will morfler.

    The wheel is not dynamic if you turn a quick change much, the course is not.

    Veloci the pads is quite short and nothing to do with a synth, not as an end. We must remember that the mpc, stems from the MPC60 (released in 1988, 17 years anyway and a very great evolution since the lelectronique ) that the start was more a vocation batteire ELECTRONIC, very powerful that time.

    Everything seems to be the details but when you have already used many machines it's pretty uncomfortable.

    SOUNDS

    The sound has a good dynamic trs, apart from the effects and filters.

    OVERALL OPINION

    There's good and well a good start to the super sampler sequencer but it lacks some innovation to this mpc, without making an MPC4000 either, so that it would have had much more effect and better quality, a time stretch in real time, not having to wait for the sample repreinne to change filter applies. If not for a fig pieces is good but is the vocation or scnique this machine then? Basically a can be a very good complement of battery, if you look at a musical variation on the tv and other kinds taratata star acadecrotte or stuff like that, the drummer on MPC1000 or MPC2000 so this is only a complement drummer?? can etre.Meme if the MPC2000 has had a major success in the great years of house or techno minimalist ........ lol

    Everyone does not use the mpc to make rhythm either lol fortunately is a fairly monotonous.

    If it is for the Yamaha sequencer is pure as well, even better.

    If it is for the sampling, there's too much gap compared to the conccurents alas this increasingly rare.Peut to be the fact that as akai yamaha are not only electronic instruments, crisis requires.

    The USB is good but if everything must be cut, not cool, and then it's not as fast as the scsi for large program.

    And the good groove of MPC60 is the same as in the competitors now, so good ... to stop the myth MPC60, which also has its reputation on its 12 bit as of SP12 in e-mu.La MPC60 MPC1000 is not!. And if a musician is expected not groove machine, you do it yourself, a la mano, as a joke lol grand.sans.

    For the price I found nine overall average.
    I prefer more the solution sampleur.Surtout + sequencer for live.

    I had a lot of machines in the hands which allows me to place it in a park new or used.

    Last day V2.10:

    Fortunately for the Akai MPC1000 has an update that gives it a tournant.Elle back in my estime.Un LFO, envelope filter, a delay, the stretch very fast (not in real time), slice function, modulation effects in real time, the possibility to put a hard drive internally, to the possible effect / filter to an external audio source ... etc. .. . It all really missed it this machine.Maintenant a real high on the sequencer / sampleur.La little sister of the MPC2500 that she looks really pretty good.

I find it very easy if not laid back but I did not get the super handy for playing live I was over with the prod and I recorded my track record with direct dc all in wav I could play my sounds on my serato live after practice too. by visually against c j was not great but I admit I qd pdt same guts with a silent c 3 years good experience and I would add that I do not even be seen with any other machine I precise hardware.
    manuelest the galley can I find one too and we often walk ds sub menus.

    SOUNDS

    Bah c is the 16 bit 44.1 khz c less than 24 or 32 bit but it goes carrment are treble and bass sound is cool c 16 bit CD quality what.
    st effest certainly not the top but I have not had any problems with adding and I have a sp 3O3 just for that.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have the untiliser pdt three years every day and very happy day in quiet clear to me c the machine hard the best: the other is there are too many or not asser.
    j I appreciate the principle of serious pads (except the quality of those it is proven that a chier c) and before the chopper got a j a sp 303 ES1 MKII ER1 one too.
    Used a 600 euros c is a good deal with the ram and the new pads after I do not see the interest of a hard drive. after if you have to take over functionality requires a computer and quickly c less frustrating.
    j I sold my mpc 1000 for m buying a laptop and an MPD 24 I regret it at all, but I keep a pad qd even to be able to play in tps tps dc j have to keep working the same technique but with a larger visual effects I work more now with ableton. but for those who kif hard on the mpc 1000 is an unbeatable c super silent machine
    I put 8 for the lack of visual effects and the ds but otherwise I do not necessarily mind more with ableton but c is more precise and more effects are and if there had been no ableton I will stay on mpc 1000. Voila voila!

    Bossé with 3 or 4 years mpc 2000XL, I was very apprehensive to buy a 1000, fear of something too cheap, less professional, etc..
    After a few minutes spent on it I became aware of the progress in relation to the 2000XL, many small details have changed, such as being able to make the polyphony with a single sample (in 16 level) which was impossible before (even if the poly mode did exist). The addition brings a lot of filters makes it possible to go much further in the work samples, practical to mitigate the cracks when sample on vinyl. The effects are significant even though they are far from a pro-le…

    Bossé with 3 or 4 years mpc 2000XL, I was very apprehensive to buy a 1000, fear of something too cheap, less professional, etc..
    After a few minutes spent on it I became aware of the progress in relation to the 2000XL, many small details have changed, such as being able to make the polyphony with a single sample (in 16 level) which was impossible before (even if the poly mode did exist). The addition brings a lot of filters makes it possible to go much further in the work samples, practical to mitigate the cracks when sample on vinyl. The effects are significant even though they are far from a pro-level course. The USB port is terrible, it allows me to work on a sample SoundForge and live rock in the mpc. The separate outputs can work really quickly, and record multi-track (I did not have the card on the 2000XL).
    Otherwise the weight and small size m'allègent really a burden, as I move around a lot, lugging a 2000XL (about 7 kilos) plus a big bag of saps on the back it's still a hassle).
    Finally above all things the most significant is the loading time is divided by 100 or 1000 (sometimes I waited 3 to 4 minutes to load a large project from my zip).
    Now in just the negatives. Akai, while offering a quality product literally does not care about our face. Such as by removing the elements that seemed essential to any beatmaker, without reason, if not money (the time stretch, to divide a sample into 16 shares, to convert to mono, and other things yet). Also new are the legions of the 1000, and I think we could Aker offer a product more successful (if not eaten by a radical capitalist ideology).
    In conclusion I would say though that the mpc 1000 is one of the best machines (a qualitative point of view and practice) I've ever owned, and work on it is a real treat (especially since I changed again by the bone base).

    yes

    SOUNDS

    sounds are not bad but any way we can add these samples is no problem
    the principle

    the fx are a bit drastic

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years
    I did not try another model but it suits me very well because it allows me to sample and make melody above mees
    other times I did it but the drum pads are a bit small compared to the mpc 2500 ... the blow a little less simple
    on the other hand for tunes is not bad because there are 16 pads x 4 making 4stroke
    (Compare to the 500 that are only 12)

    good value for money
    I regret just the size of the pads at the same time the mpc 2500 is far too expensive, and with the update of bone on the MPC1000 (bone dd) we obtain the same functionality as the mpc 2500
    So I finally remake the choice

    The MPC 1000 is a great piece of equipment and with the upgraded operating system its just like the more expensive models. It has midi and audio hook ups. You can connect your midi cords right to your interface for editing on a bigger screen. The MPC brand has the best sequencing known to all producers. It will automatically sequence your playing better than any software or other hardware program there is. The effects on the 1000 are kinda dull though, not as many options as there is on the 2000 and 4000/5000. But that’s why you track it out and use your computer program for effects. But the program itself comes with enough for you to complete a whole song it in. It has song mode, and you c…

But the program itself comes with enough for you to complete a whole song it in. It has song mode, and you can lay a whole song out. Its kinda hard with such a small screen but you ca n do it if you have the patience.

    UTILIZATION

    All of the functions will take some manual reading, this isn’t a piece of equipment you can work our way through without the manual. You will definitely need to read the manual. But after reading the manual you will have no issues at all with navigating your way thought the menus and options.


    SOUNDS

    the sensitivity and after touch is great on the pads. The pads are built to last and you wont have a problem with them if you don't hit them really hard. The stock sounds that come with it, will need to be replaced. They are very cheap, so definitely get your own kit together and get it uploaded.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The MPC 1000 is a must have for any hip hop sampler, it has great feeling pads and a great sound that comes out of it. You can layer your drums and eq them right on the MPC its self. If I went back to before I bought the MPC 1000 knowing what I know now, I would have probably saved up more money and just bought the 4000 xl. It has more options and a synth creator as well, not to mention a bigger screen . But the 1000 is great for beginners, but after trying the upgraded models you will want to upgrade asap!

    My second life as a composer

    Effects section really not terrible,
    Sequencer at the top I used mostly in "real time" and I make some corrections with the edit grid (JJos)
    The Correct Time allows a groove hard to get when you're starting to pads.

    UTILIZATION

    Level workflow ca change me completely from the computer, I really feel like playing an instrument and I also can directly record my loops.
    You have to admit it changed my way of making music, after a piece to complete the level and composition especially mix / master to say there's no AC is not a computer with which all the work will be much quicker and with instruments provided more and better qualities.

    But anyway I love my MPC for the composit…

    But anyway I love my MPC for the composition and as I do not care about finishing AC suits me very well yet.

    SOUNDS

    on sounds nothing to say it's a sampler ...
    for velocity pads is not worth it but there's a way 16levels that can help.

    OVERALL OPINION

    To release one can screen and mouse, this sampler is very good I added a synth (Alesis Micron) has been my config and I touch more to the computer and have a blast like that.

    This machine is full of great features. Usb, effects, 3 filters (high,low and band pass), up to 128 mb of ram, and you can save to compact flash cards. It is missing timestrecth and zoning but those can be done outside of the mpc via computer. I don't necessarily do either cause when I want to change the speed of my sample I'm used to just pitching it down and also the extract feature is very easy to get used to. (The extract feature does the same thing as zoning basicly).

    Price paid

    860 USD

    This mpc is very, very easy to use. Some things I needed the manual to figure out. But most of the stuff I figured out on my own. I wish they would've made the layout more like the 60's though.

    It seems well built but the other machines are built alot better in my opinion.

    SOUNDS

    It has a nice quality sound. It doesn't sound as warm and thick as other samplers I have messed with but, when you know what your doing you can make it sound really warm and thick. Basicly it doesn't anything extra to the sound like lower bit rate samplers do. What you put in is what you get back out.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I really love this mpc because it was my first but I think I might be upgrading soon. Everything just seems sooo.......squished. If it were stolen I wouldn't probably get it again.

    No Time stretch, no sample reverse, no flip up screen, no additional outs!!!!!! I NEED 8 OUTS!!!!

    Price paid

    $460

    UTILIZATION

    It was a breeze switching from the 2000 to the 1000. Saving everything is an issue but MANO1 did the tutorial on it.

    Built ford tough! I got mine from a pawn shop--somebody put the CF card in backwards and knocked the little eject button off track but I went in and fixed it.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds great---good effects and mixer.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The 1000 serves the purpose if you don't plan on sampling much. I like the 1000 but I'm selling my 2 and getting a 2000XL MCD w/8 outs and a custom paint job by forat.
