See more advice for more details!

32MB + mcd drive (possibility to buy the player for 40 on the net only on PEARL (http://www.pearl.fr/article-PE7109.html), see forum for more details).
32mo, gives us some 3m sample in Stereo and mono 6mn, so I really do not complain, I need as much if not more work on pc)

Effects: There's no effects! But, I did not care because if I want, I have that in my add on. Wav file before returning to my mpc. For those who think the couple with a rack of effects, they are all compatible and controllable by noon.

UTILIZATION

Advantages: intuitive and fairly easy to use.
It's been exactly 2 months since I quasiement machine and I use all the features of the machine rather intituivement. As against those who say there is no need to read the manual, honest it is false. I used a sampler connected cubase before and frankly, it's not so empty of falling into the concept of squenceur sampler, the advantage is that it does most things the ear (except in terms of the sample dcoupage and more ..) and it's cool for those who really want progresser.Je suggest you bring your manual when you Premire uses, history not to waste time and come directly to what interests you, make the sound.
Weakness: For the uninitiated production, it is not always empty because the manual to understand technical terms, Submitted across this one, therefore, test.
Manual available at:
www.akaipro.com (English only)
if not, see forum for Audiofanzine French version.

SOUNDS

Ct s nothing of that report.
Advantages:
It comes as we returned, so everything dpend source. Excellent sound and dynamics in the "swing" (aka a quantize the sauce is very convenient.

Inconvniants:
When his work sample. Wav on one PC and put it on the mpc, I noticed a small decrease in the gain. So I suggest you turn up the well of your samples before importing them, a will save you time.

OVERALL OPINION

Operating time: four months.
+ Apprcie the particularity: the 16 pads and dynamics (even if, trs sensible when you have not used the beginners)
MODELS sampler of previous ones:
Dynacord ADS, S1000 and Reason.
The Dynacord: always home, but in a carton. Used too complicated and certainly not very practical level backup. L with compact flash drive and mcd is a marvel for backups and use. (I'm a beat every night before going to bed and my bed, which could be better?)
For s1000: good sampler, but not silent interface and then talking trs any help given the year of release of bte!
Reason: to make music on pc, I can not. But it's up to you.
Report qualitprix:
Machine has 6 years old, bought 600 with 32MB zip drives + 2 + original box. Being given that the argus MODEL The basic 731.22 Audiofanzine on the site and I went to mpc2kxl MODEL-mcd to 40, I can be happy !
Russi I do my first beat after 30 minutes against 2 weeks for 1 week and dynacord for s1000. (Assignment of MIDI channels, cubase learning, etc ... too galre)
The big plus is that everything is connected noon, we do not care as long as no need to leave the sound of the sampler, then if you want to get out of that, there is that not follow the manual steps and connect the cables must be twelve o'clock the o.
And if c'tait again:
Ah, if I opt c'tait again for this machine over tt, I realize that others have made me lose time. I recommend this machine all those like me who can not make sounds on pc, those who want the same as his patient under the duvet, those with financial means to buy a pc and a sampler + amp + cables .. those who want to reach a plateau supplmentaire in the construction of their music.
Lots of people sell it right now, even without use or knowledge without having realized that you could put a player mcd and thus optimize the time chargment, backups, and the big plus: (re) working the sample on pc with any audio software that the gre. wav to add effects, gain, compression, etc..
In short, I really hang on this machine while in dpart j'hsitait for 3000 and honntement I have no regrets. The pro his fate, the use is simple, and multiple Varis combinaisaons are without being too heavy (the inconvniant software and samplers rcents). A machine for those who want to work professionally and with just one and the same machine (unless you want to add more). For me, she enrolled in the online major samplers, unlike the latest version too complex (MPC2500 and MPC4000) or too old limits (MPC2000 and MPC1000).
