Published on 03/12/13 at 06:27Everything has been already said about this product
The left part with all the faders and knobs is perfect.
It simplifies things in relation to the 1000 I had before!
The 8 separate outputs are perfect, too, to be able to export a project in 1 or 2 turns...it's very practical.
However, you'll need a soundcard with plenty of audio inputs, otherwise you'll have to do it again track by track manually!
USE
It's not bad in terms of use.
I hate a bug that ends up making you crazy in the long run, especially when slicing a sample, a part that is very poorly achieved.
I run JJ OS on my mp1000, they could've done a better job at this!
A new OS or OS JJ is needed!
Otherwise, it has all the basics of an mpc, and I love it for that!! I LOVE IT!!
SOUND
It doesn't add any coloration. Forget about all the sounds with lots of lows like the ASR 10, the mpc 3000, etc ...
But, at the same time, you have enough tools to give sound your personal touch...
So this aspect is not that annoying.
I use very little the analog synth inside, so I can't tell you much about it.
OVERALL OPINION
2 or 3 years.
Perfect hardware, but AKAI seems to be mocking us with this shitty OS!!
Especially when you see its current street price! And this guys can't even make a software worthy of the name...
It's like having windows!
