Already said the plugs but there's everything you need
The effect is the classic recent MPC level (reverb, echo, grunger bit, chorus, flanger ...) It's always cool to put a reverb on a snare tite or sample.
Good sound is a sampler, so you turns the stuff of demos and you go your skeuds.
You can transfer files via USB, super cool, I bought a cf card faster, I gained time.
I put 9 because we can dream of a built-in audio or other optional connections (although DD is possible to install a inside)

UTILIZATION

I come from a MPC500, so I did not have to open the manual, which is in English for me.
It is not lost at all if you are in the world MPC, I really feel like a MPC500 two times better! More effects, q-link, outputs, power ... After ergonomics MPC is a present, but cut samples under OS akai is a shit, go live in JJOS blackjack, it's better. Otherwise it is always a pleasure to use, with the "big" screen in all cases greater than 2 lines of the MPC500.

SOUNDS

Doin 'hip hop a little typical old school, so perfect for me. The effects take place, that is what.

I greatly lowered the rating of this item because of the problem of pads which I am a victim, when you hit a beat in finger playing, have a bearing snare is not great, I also find the wrong speed, it is tape has a 127 or 20, but we will say that this is my setting is wrong ...
You should know that the replacement kit offered by MPCStuff.com is sold at outrageous price of $ 180, so I'm really disappointed with these pads that will have to change to the chagrin of my wallet ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a month, so I will put mods over time ...
Before I was on 500, and have felt a j'me cramped. Unless you have a 2500 or one of their big sisters, j'pense have found the MPC loooooongtemps follow me!
Fan workflow, I'm a little allergic to software ... But you can escape more!
To € 305 in free pdf cd card or extension, it is a great deal, I had to put € 30 more for a cf and 4GB ram.
Bluntly that I remake this choice is the MPC my life ...
But even this story pad that annoys me more with Akai ...

For technical specifications see data sheet on AF.
For sound: it depends on what you put in, you put the m **** it you out of the m ****, you put gold, it appears with many carats for ... be a little more serious this is a sampler then everything depends on the quality of the sample cavity. as regards registration of samples directly on the machine, the input line, the quality is good. The samples can be edited, cut, copy, paste etc. ... for sound editing, high-pass and low dual-band, LFO, ADSR and LFO on the amp is available filters, the receiver can samples and so on ... there are some effects that I have not really tested: there is the master compressor and equalizer, and that's all. there can be no more than two effects on the slopes, but to overcome it there are four output mono or two stereo or two mono and stereo, in addition to the double master outputs. The sequencer is very complete: 64 tracks I think, there is plenty to do.


UTILIZATION

I must say it's been 7 years since I am in cubase over a month tamper Live8, damn it feels good this machine. I breathe again, it is freedom. I spend my time playing and I do not see the time passing. I wonder quarter hours and three hours after I'm still so it's huge. It is much more limited along Cubase at opportunities but it has nothing to so if in fact it is much better. it takes a little getting used to, especially if like me you discover this kind of gear, but the learning curve is fast and you can have fun almost immediately so it is simple and well done. I bought the jjos 2 so I think I can say nothing about the bones akai but dd is very well thought out with plenty of shortcuts found rather well, everything was at hand and once the beat compound is spend hours playing with the mute pads and next sequences. everything is super fun, it's a very well thought out machines and I have only one regret, having discovered it so late when it's been 20 years since I play the music ..... we sample a sound, which is assigned to a pad on ^ pitch, filter and plays directly ca you like it? You also recorded dry, you added a track, then another and another, it's as simple as that, you screw bah it's nothing like you erased you want a note, sentences, the same note in whole sentence ... is not it great that? 2 and while dry.
The akai manual is well done and served me quite oddly when I'm in bone dd manual but it is in English and is an indecipherable crap written by someone who is probably not English. So I preferred to initiate the usual functions are referring me that document akai and that's enough to start. Now I'm starting to better understand the machine I started to open the manual jjos and I understand better but it really is not very clear ... but fortunately the machine is fucking her and that's what counts ...

SOUNDS

As stated above, the sounds are those that you put inside the blow, if you're not too stupid, you put the sounds that you love and you make you happy ...
The expression is terrible even if the pads are a bit hard and sometimes it takes bouriner ... it explodes. is a way to have fun with aftertouch is terrible: I sampled my guittare and a bit of a filter, a small adjustment on the ADSR, a little aftertouch and v'la me with a harmonica .. . suddenly I sample everything in my studio guitar, piano, percussion, voice, microkorg, balafon ..... you can even your sampler vsti if you ca .... you can sing entire sample loops a trigger with a single pad while you play your beat, you can play with the parameters of WaG, the Panoramic vie, volume etc ... with 2 faders and record the movements of the faders at the same time ... you can controler 2 other synth gear type BAR, sequencer via the two input / output noon, it is rather full.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and a half ago and I will not open for cubase draw some samples with which I will play directly on my little mpc. This machine is a marvel, I am madly, this is the best purchase I have ever made. I tried the tempest for two hours and about the same as a spark but it has nothing even. the spark seemed to be rather foide and then has nothing even. it depends on a computer and does not offer much further and possibilities that a mpc. The tempest is something else, if I had the money I'll probably bought first, but I would have gone next to the mpc and ca will have been a shame. Now that I have, I realize that I already have a lot of trouble to separate myself. I sold a 300 rc and wave drum to buy mpc and I have no regrets (with the money I have left I'll buy a morpho ....)
As I am a multi-instrumentalist I first turned to the 300 rc that seemed to do the trick to play alone or several. but it is very limited when I ^ me rc 300 even if it is a different use (although the MPC also has a looping function, but I have not yet tested). and it must be EXTREMELY square square otherwise it is yucky and it's quickly become unmanageable. more must "mix" before decision because after everything is on a single track (or three) and you can not touch anything. while on the mpc, you can go back, mix each track separately and each pad independently from one another on a same program plus the ability to put a filter on each pad, plus everything else described above, brief There's no picture if it was a day refair I resell my rc 300 and my Wavedrum, or even, I do not even buy them and I throw myself on a mpc.
What I like most is that there are lots of way to use it is like you want:
Be you throw loops already all formers and you play by dessu, thou titures a little, thou chained, mixtures ... or you built your loops live, and as a measure, one after the other , instrument after instrument you play with etc. ....
Either you're happy press play and you put a sequence read while you take your grat or your percussion to your solo, you throw your pmc foot with pedal and saves you pedal with the 2nd ... for example and this is parameterizable is super full, almost as Cubase and it's real, hard, a real instrument with which one gets off to compose and play.
As for those who say that this is a machine for hip hop I say this is a machine that you want, do you do what you like it because it makes you sound you want, even charles aznavour you can ....
It's well worth the price I paid, especially when you see the number of possibilities of the device relative to the rc 300 or just full of other machines this rate as the electribe I tested and also sounds really bad but still very limited compared to the mpc. You understand that I love and that I will go and do it full of small pieces ..... ...

everything has already been said on the mpc 100, right?

UTILIZATION

simple? say it is exactly like driving a car .. at first we thought 30 seconds to find out which pedal press, and later we made blunders handbrake and slaloms on wasteland without thinking. A mpc, the first day (10 years ago for me), it's scary. you say "what is this shit menus, I find it, I put 20 minutes to change the volume of a sample ..." after a few months, you can make a full track in 1 hour.

and we realize that eventually, the interface is really very well thought

SOUNDS

sounds are provided ... Suck enough
anyway the goal is to own samples and sounds.
potato is a huge, dynamic .. sounds.


effects are correct, but without enough to "take effect";

the only thing is that when a sample dépitche it sounds a bit metallic, it changes a little the spectrum.

with bone dd 2XL I access controls to midi cc from a kaosspad ..
eg when I do a filter mounted on the pad, the mpc is an increase of cutoff on a white noize filtered at the same time .. too good!

OVERALL OPINION

10 years! .. I had a blue MPC 1000 for 5 years, I sold 5 years ago because I had gone on ableton, and I used it more too .. and I finally bought a MPC a year ago! it always comes back to the basics!

The MPC 1000 black, is a midi production studio. When I was first unboxing I was surprised by the quality of it. Since its only 900 and something dollars I didn’t think It was going to be as solid as it was. I figured the 5000 and 4000 are that solid because they cost a lot more. So the MPC 1000 really surprised me with the durability of it.


UTILIZATION

Setting it up took no effort at all, the manual is a pretty thick book though and I guess that it has to be because there are just so many things that you can do on the mpc its ridiculous.


SOUNDS

Sounds are great, especially for the type of music that I make. It puts out a real dirty drum sound that I love and I don’t think any other machine or software that I have every used can put out a gritty sound like a mpc can. You can set the sensitivity on the pads the way you want them. They are all touch sensitive so when you are sequencing it can have more of a live feel too it sense it will all be based on how hard you hit the pads. It wont sound like a robot , unless you want it too and in that case you can turn of the pads sensitivity option and just make it all the same volumn.


OVERALL OPINION

I love the MPC 1000, I plan on getting the newest version of the mpc really soon. You can even trade in our old mpc to upgrade at the music store and the great thing is that the mpc 1000 doesn’t lose its value like a lot of other gear does. Most producers and beat makers still want to have the mpc no matter how old they are. it’s a really good investment. The mpc 1000 has really helped me develop my sampling ability. Only bad thing is when I try to chop a large or long song. Like a 5 min sample, sometimes it will freeze on me, or if it doesn’t freeze it will take a very long time to chop it.

The black MPC 1000 is a sampling monster. I had a chance to use it on several occasions though I have never purchase one myself. I can say some of the things I like about it Is how you can layer your drums so easy. I havent seen an easier method to layer your drums on a hardware like this. You can also save all of your programs and kits so they automatically turn on right when you press the power button.


UTILIZATION

Getting started on it was difficult for me the first time because I really had no idea what I was doing. I just wanted to be able to lay down some hardstyle kicks and some snares and mess around a little bit. It took a while for me to get to understand it but once I got the hang of it I loved it. The reason I wouldn’t purchase one of my own is because I don’t sample songs. I feel this is more for someone who does a lot of sampling mainly the hip hoppers. Me I just want to lay down some hard drum patterns but I can do that in software now.


SOUNDS

Sounds of it are really good, it gives a high quality sound. Some of the older mpc provide a more “dirty” sound but I don’t feel like this one does. Or maybe it was just because I was using the standard rock kit that came on board with it. Though I couldn’t really do to much of loading my own stuff on it because it wasn’t my unit to keep . I was just borrowing it and messing around.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, its great if you want to get into some sampleing and laying down some good drum patterns. I couldn’t imagine trying to do a whole song on it though. I noticed it does have a song feature but to me there just isn’t any way I could do a whole song on it. I would just do some patterns and track them out into pro tools. That is the reason I never really purchased one of these for myself.

section effect bof
but his little Dedan the problem not too c ... c is a sampler!

UTILIZATION

Akai OS not terrible, JJOS download! even the free version c is alway better now!

SOUNDS

the sound is good ... with good cables and good convertos, so good
o pir is the s / PDIF ... c is c moin beautiful but clear!

OVERALL OPINION

j avai an advan MPC2000. the 1000 is very good, I used men in sampler and MIDI controller for parfoit drum plugins. no failure. Beug some but nothing nasty. JJOS Game Downloads! BECOME ca fuller and clearer!
a bit expensive ... but I find toujour all too expensive! especially in the sound!

UTILIZATION

for info before I was on software, with a control surface pad and basically I was like the mpc (slice of sample on the pads)


easy access to top ergonomics ... for me ..
few hours of practice, some reading the manual and you come out sth!

functions provided by the bone Additional DD are useful in particular for handling Live (track mute) or complex composition (Step / grid edit)

SOUNDS

-His-
it is a sampler, but inside the compressor and the mpc groove gives some "color" to all that!

-Effects are very average-
I use a KP3 on one side and the other VST effects on separate outputs.

-Expression -
the touch pad is great! is fun to play, aftertouch is nice too.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6-7months and then I turn on the computer more than special effects paste.

what I like most is how to create with this machine, we seek one searches the sample that makes you want, it is cut, the slice ... then tap, you press rec, is tapped, it passes according to the sequence ... it's really the ideal workflow for me!

I said I'm not the instrumental hip hop huh!

just something negative, exploration of sample - usb interface is soft and archaic, it is better to upstream with a computer!

and price, a bit expensive, it's not too down despite the age of machine design.

I had a sampler dja electribe korg ES1, which made my trip really well but its operation is a résumé of the program, without much feelig bit ...... what!
then the principle of live recording and the sound is more pro 16bit 44kz, coolest and downright more musical ... right?

even if the full range possde it the best quality price, it is unfortunate to have only 16MB of memory at the origin and having to add 100 to get, certainly in comfortable, 128 mo.

UTILIZATION

Simpler you die ....

SOUNDS

Nothing to say this as it comes out, it's really pro, APRS talent is another story.

OVERALL OPINION

Complment as a studio is excellent .... And even non-existent for a studio this little box could easily produce alone boooooombe sound.
after a sample of 10s between looped and take a kick in if a violin note l. ... it is not a history but a matter of talent got!

Really nice product, although that could be used by anyone (musician or not) become a producer.

effect but can not buy for that. The only filter that seems to me well at the moment is going down.

UTILIZATION

A little more complicated than a 2000 with Os JJ essential.
I like the resample function to hand out.
In my case I really know the mpc from the first day using the manual so that when AC blocks. And then with time ...

SOUNDS

I put some samples made with S950, Sp 1200 and other stuff and it's not far at all.

OVERALL OPINION

All in one I was looking for with the audio and more. I am very happy to have this product. It does not change my way of doing zik but it centralizes all. Cons by the akai OS base is really sucks. The guy who made the OS replacement is a smart aleck.
