All user reviews for the Akai Professional MPC1000

To see the connector on the manufacturer's website, but for me I find it very well as usual except that I would have preferred to have more separate outputs.
Filters are effective (and combined to be more effective) and handy lorqu'on associates them with the sliders.
The effects are not bad for a preview of what you want (in any case can not be used with separate outputs, so c really just to "see"), but too METALLIC when abused. The effects section "mastering" is also handy to boost the whole, except that I find the compressor notoriously inefficient.
The sequencer groove to death, although the c feature of these machines ...

UTILIZATION

So there really ouf c, c the workhorse of the MPC => gear is simply the easiest to use I've ever used. C to obtain such amazing results with so few headaches. Within minutes you can make a complicated beat of 64 tracks, with a feeling that I never found on any sequencer.
ENJOY THE MPC.

SOUNDS

In my case (R & B / New Jack / Hip-Hop), c not bad at all, Pette sound good, but it is still a bit too clean for my taste. The sound is pretty crappy given with, because it sounds too "carnival". But when you sample the good c.
The term is exemplary, and anyway these pads are proven (the suicide rate among musicians has plummeted since Aker launched the MPC60).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, and what is egg c how fast you can make a beat of the same size as those of trade (and because everyone uses mpc). Otherwise the scope of USB and flash card c super practical and not compare with the crappy stuff we had before (scsi). You can use the pc (or mac in my case) to store a huge wav sound bank and we support that you need in a "drag and drop". I won a lot of time with this function.
In short, my view is that 1) it is better to take it a MPC 2000XL
2) if you are looking for a killer shit beats R & B or Hip-hop 5min timer and without too damn nose in a computer then look no further you have found ...

Normment not sound available, but any Manir the purpose of such a machine is to sample its sounds self-same ... USB and Compact Flash are very practical to load sounds from your PC or store them on SD. So much more convenient than the zip, floppy or SCSI ...
There is an effects section paramtrables (Bit Grunge, Reverb, Flanger, Pan Flying ,...)
The squenceur trs is good as all squenceurs range ...

UTILIZATION

I can not really compare with other machines (my Premire) but the handling is quick trs, 2 or 3 weeks can acqurir a good foundation and use so as re pushing enough. Once familiaris handling is simple and intuitive plutt.
Personally I think it's IDAL for beginners.

SOUNDS

The original sounds are trs ways, nothing beats a good homemade sample!
Filters (highpass, lowpass and bandpass) are good.
The effects are quite effective, but use it wisely and sparingly to avoid the sound is too synthetic, mtallique.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for a month and a half, but the first rsultats satisfy me fully.

The report qualitprix is ​​good. MODEL is the cheapest of the MPC range and is perfect for entry into the world of Contents samplers / squenceurs hardware, especially as the reputable SERIES This is not to do!

Sampler 16 bits / 44.1 KHz stereo or mono
16 MB RAM to 128 MB original ext (extension 128 MB costs about 150 euros)
24 programs (one program = one set of 64 pads, one can assign up to four samples per pad)
2 filters per pad
2 analog inputs + 6
A digital input / output
2 multi effects + compressor / EQ
Sequencer 64 tracks, 100 sequences, 100 000 events
2 MIDI I / O
Backup compact flash and USB connection to PC
There is a freeware editor of http://www.MPC1000.com

UTILIZATION

Its size is compact enough, by editing capabilities against the samples are small
(Normalization, extraction, deletion of parties outside the points of departure and arrival)
The manual is fairly clear and fairly succinct.

SOUNDS

I felt like a bad idea sounds original, but in fact the internal percussion sounds are quite good, and no lack of dynamics. The sound is very clean and neutral (which can be a disadvantage for some, but not for me).
I have not had time to test the effects. on the other hand do not hesitate to hit the pad, reaching a velocity high enough, and believe me it's solid, it's not the pads of some MCoxo!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week and I have mastered 60% functionality in 3 hours. What do you think?
I still have 40% to work and that the effects and editing of sequences, whose tricks.
The value for money is good, and I do it again the choice without hesitation. The machine scene !!!!!!

Achetedj team bottom of the ram (128MB)
Compact Flash 32MB (more than enough for the moment).
The CHARACTERISTICS compltes are available at Akai

UTILIZATION

This is what I needed!
Something super simple to use, no need to turn on the PC and wait for it plant, a simple press of the POWER button on the machine and go!

An IDE, a sample and is hop in the box!

SOUNDS

The original sounds can be used if there is a ide quickly at the top, said DJ Aydree APRS as is done for a sampler machine as a.
At the sound I can not really compare it with another machine, it's my Premire mpc, but since I go out I sound that I like is the principal. While editing with effects and filters on offer, you can get something good trs.
The sensitivity of the pads is nickel, not need to press a Bourin, ARAG at will.

For effects against by only two usable, so if you want to add reverb for example when we use a compressor and a dj flanger, and ben shame!!

OVERALL OPINION

Bought two weeks ago and I'm not.
I needed something intuitive, very easy to use and very practical in order to install a small pice with plates and the pc.
Pc which I use for storage elsewhere bote because the USB cable to TRANSFR sounds is really very practical.
3.5kg of happiness, if I repeat c'tait Do not hesitate.

Bon ben, lle is terrible, even if the menu is not empty edition No beginners for the beginner ... otherwise it goes, good effects, a typical sound akai ...

UTILIZATION

Well, it will not hurt, she slams the live fire of god, the trak is mute of the ball ... it is simple, but hey it hides his game, despite a simple facade, and two tiny little slider (j prfr would have a max of knobs in the facade ... Tampa) lacking a delay, but hey , c cool, I'm happy ....

SOUNDS

His akai, although pchu, and nergique Submitted by either .... the effects are nice, but hey ca e is well ...

OVERALL OPINION

A bin for a sequencer to rename li a sampler of excellent quality I do not regret my purchase at all ... it centralizes all my live, allows an organization to the whole thing .... Roger thank you!!

It is equipped with almost everything you need:
-16 Sensitive pads mpc ...
-6 Analog output jack 6.35 (actually 3 stereo outputs' but with the pan setting, 6 mono ...)
-1 Stereo input jack 6.35
RCA digital output-entry
-2 Midi in, midi out 2
USB port (attention delivered without cable !!!!!)
-2 Taken footswitch jack 6.35
-1 Headphone jack 6.35
-1 Slot compact flash (16MB-2GB) (comes with a 32MB card)
-2 Effects (chorus, flanger ...) + 1 master effect (EQ and compressor)
-The internal memory of 16MB to 128MB can be ammenee
Q -2 fader link
No reverse-time or strech ....
Filter

etc. .....( see page AF)

I put 8 because "only" 128MB Internal and USB is only for the exchange with a computer. (10 in my opinion is reserved for more advanced machines)

UTILIZATION

I did not know too the operation of the MPC and I was nervous as editing and menu navigation is fatidieuse (bad experience with a manual in English 2000), but in fact keunini!

I recognize that without the manual I will be kept con front of the machine, but after 1 or 2 hours a bone up and I was already a test piece!

menu is accessed by pressing a key and a pad and another button to return to the basic ultra simple.on to walk through each menu with the scroll wheel and sliders.

the manual is very well done and clear, can be the order of the chapters could be more pertinant aurra (?), but hey it is doing really well. by around 100 against the pages (type ream) held by two clips ... it should not live long in this great state ...

mute the track is great for live or work on a single sample (a condition that by putting a track / track)

the assignment of effects, outputs, pan filters is easy ... (more bleubox can be used to make the prog on pc; nikel)

I really take pleasure in playing with this little, because you can really play with more than programer, it's great.

transfer data between PC / mpc is fast. (if that means anything ...)

on the other hand for melodic track is better to have a midi keyboard and a sound module or synth because otherwise we galley. for the rest it is a treat.

SOUNDS

As described in other reviews this is a sampler, it depends on the user, what you put veut.les factory sounds are a very good rotten, sometimes strange or interested, but it depends on the style and above all tastes.

then the effects there, deception ... they are really not up to what I expected ... except the eq and comp was parfoit the impression of not having the effect assigned correctly, but if damage .... (to me it is not so bad because everything is a reworking of tables + effect modules.)

filters are well and good to allow variations (recorded in the sequencer, has warned however not be too greedy, 100,000 events all inclusive, no more)

otherwise the "grain mpc" is there.

I put a 7 because of the effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it for a long time but very quickly the beast mastery, provided they are methodical and utiliuser the manual (at least initially)

the pad and mute function trak, genial. the "Original Option" too.
The downside: the effects.

I read a lot (forum, manual ,...) on a lot of machines (thank you AF), post a few forums (thank you AF bis), and I confess that if I were rich my choice will be more focused on the Roland MV8000, because it raproche lot of those apps.

I buy the mpc 1000 to replace my apps and I'm really happy (although I always use Sound Forge for the reverse, time stretch). 1000 euros and all options (except 128MB) is there's no complaining (even at 100 euros y'en aurra always say it's too expensive ... lol)

I have not too much experience of this machine, but I think I do it again this healthy choice hesitation (except with twice the budget, see above)

is short of the ball (and personal).

9 Because I put the effects ...

I will post a new notice can be in a few months, if by then There's change.

What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?

Audio: In TRS 2 + 1 + 6 In SPDIF Out TRS + 1 SPDIF Out
MIDI: 2 IO
USB: 1 port standard

How many sounds and styles available? Are ditables? Through a utility Mac / PC?

the few sounds available on the smartmedia of origin are an unnecessary absolute. clear direct.

- Has he an effects section?

Yes. Finally the paper. Ralite as in the sounds of origins: do not use. less be deaf.

- What are the characters of squenceur? ...

without (re) enter the dtail, 16 pads rpart of 4 banks, 64 instruments (x 4 layers per pad) play live, not live not overdub recording etc.. squenceur trs intuitive. rgal a home like scne.

connnection note: 8 / 10
sounds note of Origin: 0 / 10
note section effects: 0 / 10
Note squenceur function: 8 / 10

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

compltement yes. application has 15 minutes to take control of the machine and understand its operation. squenceur trs so intuitive, erase functions of copy, mute, etc. very easy mix of CASC. a rgal.

- The usual functions are they easily accessible?

Yes! few sub-menu, everything is more or less accessible with a click of a button.

on the other hand! attention. bullshit from raka: USB. impractical to do nothing when the computer is connected. the coup was blocked compltement crativit time. it's like back in the days of floppy 5 1 / 4 ... a shame! this machine Arelle ten years behind on technology ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I do not know. not yet opened. ct cheap but the staples of the two is again limited ...

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?

that is the bottom hurts. if you forget the original sounds and cared for the party sampler to its own sounds, we quickly realized how Aka's laughing at the mouth of the world. section is a sampling innefficacit incredible. NOTHING. there is almost nothing like function or to treat its sounds. Systm is the loopback archaque, filters are hyper LGERS, no reverse, no time-stretching, orders for once think are absolutely wrong ... in short, is the disaster. obligation to spend a software (Peak, Spark etc. (Mac)), for his samples and rinjecter simply by USB. in the end it's better as a, but indui two things: a computer and an audio processing software, so the money in addition to the MPC1000 which final rating dearly for what it is .

- Are they ralistes?

the quality of sampling and resampling is good trs. simple, clean, efficient. raliste so (but be careful, I work only on my numrique string).

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

no, no and no. red card here also.

- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

Yes! excellent! the pads are amazing, a "groove" provided we know how to play a little. trs trs effective and enjoyable in the end.

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...

without comment.

notes on the sounds: 0 / 10
ism note: 9 / 10
Note effects: 0 / 10
Note expression: 10/10
sound note: 0 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

a month. every day.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

+> Connectivity, format, and scnique aspet practice of the craft, its simplicity.

-> Sampling, effects, its simplicity its price, its look and finish (even when IRONMONGER)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

MPC2000 - EPS16 - Mirage - EMU64

- How do you report qualitprix?

exccrable. 400/500 euro nine with 128MB and 1GB in smartmedia would seem more appropriate for sincrement tural quality of the machine.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

not. even when I keep it, but the day or someone takes a similar format A4, with Storage ditto, ditto connections and only functions squenceur / pads for 300 euro, I change. I have the "50%" of the machine that is absolutely inutisable date because of their quality innaceptable chapter in 2005 and the price ...

Personal conclusion: If you are looking for a workstation (sampler / squenceur / storage / Fast Fashion), go your way.
if you have too much understeer and you are looking for a nickel squenceur with the legendary MPC pads, may be worth it.

Describes character already ....

UTILIZATION

C a breeze this mpc is small, accessible, one can take it anywhere and enjoy it at any time.
Mpc lovers will not dpayser and being able to transfer the samples and give the pc without using a software that saves time and place incredible.
For beginners the book is as clear as crystal, and forum amateurs and dvots the mpc are so numerous that the tip not be long before a rain in your mailbox!!

SOUNDS

OULOULOULOULOU is tearing his hair c grain mpc and there is no better than one made by !!!!( roger.L) Frankly ca pete and the rhythmic foot total c jou or program is s shine in hip hop at least this machine is almost essential.
The sound can be as heavy and dirty as all clear, lightweight dpend to sample and how we sample at least for me this machine is the queen of kiks and snares!
the pads are great as the other mpc.
In fact, the mpc 1000 is very similar to the 2000 XL ... I think this is good because of all the mpc dchire fawn all ....

OVERALL OPINION

Here is a kill bin c buy everything without hsiter c ... now on 4000, 3000 or 60 are better but frankly if you use a background you obtienderez the dazzling results.
The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable and I must say that USB makes it easy, the effects are very average but I using it for 1 year and I keep it I buy it back without asking for question.Vive akai! !

One small gripe ... it lacks a time stretch and pitch.
Registration "step edit" is extremely accurate!
The USB is very convenient for the transfer loop bw / mpc

UTILIZATION

Is that happiness!! A child to use it! A week sufi been around for a major party functions.

SOUNDS

This bike it hard!
Bcp gain!
With velocity pads are great for live.
Use the filters easy to use and rich.

However, the reverb is not at all realistic. This lack of adjustment for the distortion (there is only one, the gain). It lacks a delay.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 6 months and I regret not having used it earlier.
I love the simplicity of shares, but I regret effects.
Exelente value for money.
Looking back I obtained a MPC 2000 XL or 2000 for the time stretch and pitch.

Check out the site ...

but I want to highlight 256 samples for 128 mo, which is strange for this part of the sampler of this machine. (eg e-mu sampler 1000 sample for the same memory less)

There's the "effects" in 2005 if it has little dare call effets.Heureusement Os v2.1 that provides the necessary delay all good machines that comply.

Most mpc: 64 track.

100 000 evements way from some sequencer.

Thankfully Aki was an update (OS v2.1), which raised its level before the OS because it was limiting the MPC1000.

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.

Full connectivity: USB, noon (2in, 2out), 6 audio out (so 3 stereo), 2 audio in, compact flash possibility of a 80GB HD (officielemnt but people have installed 100GB hd ...)
this machine is a sampler so the sounds are determined by what he put in the belly

there are effects (which are not very accessible but helps out)

the sequencer is very nice because it brings the machine-side "play" the music and draw the side programming (as in soft drinks etc ...)

I put 9 for the effects that should be more accesible to live and to be controllable

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but quite repetitive intuitive in its approach, and may be complicated if you want to go further with the beast (as many machine nan?)
Fortunately, there are max and PC software to address these daunting task of programming, ca greatly simplifies the process.

must also use an editor (sound forge, spark, audacity) ca allows automated functions via "batch convert" convert them to 16bit wav format (not aiff ...) 44100.

the usual functions are just a pad is very nice and that's what makes the originality of the mpc.
(Composition work with via pad mutes, play the different sample by the touch pads.

the manual is not always very clear (that there is more new bone qulque changing small details ...
Fortunately, there are videos made by SPARQ Forum "mpc-forum"
So the manual is not enough but fortunately there are other resources

SOUNDS

This machine is a sampler gift to create the sounds are either even (or at least to choose yourself.
I have not tried to get realistic sounds with this machine, I have not chosen to ca.

effects are to troubleshoot, do not expect high-quality effects, but they are nice and present when required, the problem is their lack of access and control in the Qlink can ...
damage as we can not put any effect on a track WHOLE easily (apart from the master effects)
expression for velocity is very good, it's that the machine stands, the instant composition is really nice.

it's really a musical instrument that is learned in the way the play is getting better by working on (it is for example the method worked Battery dante agostini, it makes good exos ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for a week
I love his side entiere.c instrument in its own 'is just great ...
I had an earlier one that electribe're really made me Tripp, I sold it when I bought my computer with midi keyboard ...
and that my machine failed, I needed to return to this type of machine ...
she can be closer to the composition in real time
like any instrument it takes some learning, but what makes it well when he spends time.

attention, this machine is not limited to the style of music rnb ...
personnelemnt I qq1 of eclectic, this machine is also (it's a sampler)
measures can be odd, etc., etc ...
I use it to click and make the cut, idm, electronica, berakcore, ambient, drum n bass, electro dub, film music ...)

it also allows different control software (battery, reaktor, live, reason ...)

very good machine, especially since the arrival of the new OS

I learn so (and) I hearts, very fun and eclectic like creature ...

Purchase this cot everyone is aware (read the posts previous ones)

UTILIZATION

THE galre beginners are certainly a bit but eventually the habit will trs trs's fast! And everyone knows the concept of intrressant mpc's with their famous pad.
It is true that nanmoins the manual is not always clear trs ...

SOUNDS

Ok so the effects are crappy, BUT YOU SAW THE DYNAMICS?? It's the bomb that level of sound quality if you have good credit and good samples bah you make music butchers!

OVERALL OPINION

We know the rput 'of MPC and with the new OS 2.0 bah There's even more hsiter, it is worth more than the blow in my opinion that the 2000 xl.

- I will spare you the technical features, you can read below.

- The machine comes with factory presets, very average quality, but that is not the goal ...

- Level of the features it has evolved since the days when I bought it. There is now a hard disk, timestretch, pitch shift, the reverse, the LFO, etc ... who have completely rediscover my machine I had some dropped in favor of Live. But here the features are plain satisfactory, especially considering the price has dropped significantly ...

<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>Speaking of USB MBM does not come with the cable, it will get one</span>

UTILIZATION

I would say that in one day we can assimilate 50% of the functions of the beast, without reading the manual, which is very respectable

However I still advise you to read the manual, you learn quite a lot ...

The manual is in English, but it is very understandable and can be even better since the machine is in English. I thought at first it was something I could do without but there are plenty of features and tricks to be discovered by reading the left and right ...

SOUNDS

(This section is weak, an MPC is made to bring its own sound ...)
However, there are only two assignable effects is low, but not always around the problem by recording a sample with its effect and the réassignat a pad then ....
In terms of drums, it sounds quickly and done well, as can be expected from an MPC worthy of the name.
the reaction velocity is nickel.

If your pads have problems, it's pretty easy to replace or repair. If you're ever in this case send me a message I will tell you what to do.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two years since I have it, this machine is enormous. Since the updates to the OS, the hard disk and new OS unofficial ahead, the interest of the machine has greatly increased and exceeded my expectations.

Everyone who came here are really criticizing hopeless. They obviously bought their MPC without knowing what it is. The MBM is perfect in features, except in terms of effects which are rather average.

With that I think no reason to buy the MPC2500 ...

-16 Pads. Smaller than the other mpc (1 / 4 less)
-6 Analog output jack 6.35 (actually 3 stereo outputs' but with the pan setting, 6 mono ...)
-1 Stereo input jack 6.35
rca digital -entree/sortie
-2 Midi in, midi out 2
USB1 port (you can not have everything)
-2 Taken footswitch jack 6.35
-1 Headphone jack 6.35
-1 Slot compact flash (16MB-2GB) (comes with a 32MB card)
-2 Effects (chorus, flanger ...) + 1 master effect (EQ and compressor)
-The internal memory of 16MB to 128MB can be ammenee
Q -2 fader link
Reverse time-strech and V2 with the OS!
Filter (bad, but certainly present)
-Possibility to set a hard disk of 20 80 GB (the 2'5, laptop hard disk super convenient)

The sequencer is just right. It is the conductor of your config 'MIDI and samples utiliss by bte.
It is a basic but perfectly complte machine.

UTILIZATION

Habitus for the pc it takes time to adapt.
For the habitus of the other MPCs requires an adjustment period, especially for the step edit mode (here vertical).

Otherwise the functions are accessible and super egonomie of this "little sister" in fact an original machine o each space is worth the Fast Fashion (it's over! We pause over his little cendar on the belly of the b you lol!)

The manual is clear enough. I regret only having slept in sch and English classes because with the arrival of the new OS would help me ca ...

SOUNDS

MPC = RAP, I know all polmique that this statement will generate ... But I am an author / composer HipHop and everyone said that the MPC c'tait magic ... Rflection doing is not because you have a BMW that can drive. The machine does not make the groove ... it contributes.

It's a good trs Bacan for beginners. But to go further it remains limited. His report is qualitprix parcontre unbeatable.

The sounds are clear, but it comes out of good quality. It spits out what he gives with all lightweight, lightweight cot agu.

For its effect is going to require the mourners, they are not ffice. May be that the reverb could mean the hidden mdicrit of sound, but otherwise it's not a.
To start in the composition has the fact that a pro has done less. But it is a good machine trs as sequencer and storage / exchange of deals.
Converters, are not by appointment, but the sound of 2006, flat and transparent. For the sampler is the feed: "REC", "STOP", "Save!" is simple, as it's spring.

To each to his config 'with.
Its small size makes it a desire to not speak ill. It remains an ergonomic and enjoyable profondment. Closer to the pace of the box MPC60. It sticks its era.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year and it made me realize that to have a "grain" of his professional (at least when the same Ho! Do not DCON!) It was not an end in it. She has the art of adapting to the needs of each pro or amateur.

It's not a workstation or the mpc 3000 o 4000 ds soulve these machines that we know that the sound is Heavy ...

No it is a good conductor, it has its advantage in addition to price, for my part I have an Akai S950 sampler to beat (a massive musical), an Ensoniq ASR 10 for brass, violins, samples of soul, beats short while (the best sampler of the world, I think ...) and a Roland JV1080 expander for the components. The mpc 1000 fits perfectly my config.
I try the MPC2000XL ... The squabble between machine m'interresse not, I think that today one must be practical, high quality mpc with 128 (24 minutes mono sampling, sampling stro 12min) + Hard Disk the Next-Generation Functional finds its place among the elders who dchirent but with less memory and / or opportunities.

Beginners and pro now you know my opinion, be aware that the report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable.

For beginners who DLIR discovering the producers of the "Grain" of a sound, it's handjob brain ... Just do it!

Exprience with this choice I do it again without hsiter.

How to make something new in this section lol? I deliver what I remember of the product:

What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?
2midi-in / 2 MIDI out
-1 S / PDIF in / 1 S / PDIF out
-2 Analog in jacks
-2 Master out jacks
-4 Jacks assignable outputs
-1 USB port
-1 Compact flash port
-1 Dock DD 2.5 inches (yeeaaahhhh)

connectivity quite satisfy me: MIDI driver modules, input engulfed the samples, the in / out S / PDIF ensures the link with the PC (sound card E-MU 0404), the assignable outputs frankly I have not had need ... I think DD will soon install a pr and now the 32 MB CF makes the case perfectly: my musical style hip hop c pluto So here&#39;s a sample of drums and a bass: 20 KB to break everything lol!

Effects:

2 master effects 4-band EQ + Compressor
Has two effects assignable Choose from a dozen classic and rather cheap, but sufficient for the boom-bap (my setup c 1: compressor and 2: bit Grunger ... Yum!)

Sequencer:

it seems quite complete because I am far from having made the tour very intuitive for the game but not for the issue: let&#39;s be clear, from a software sequencer is back to the future ...

UTILIZATION

This is where I hope to read ...

Here is my first post in AF, it must be 1year and a half I fanstasme on the mpc that I plan to pay me, that I cast photos on the web ... etc. until now I was all in Reason 3.0, and I expected biensur no longer an MPC, such as complete solution Reason tape strong enough ...

I was looking for a compact solution to make beats under the covers, for fun and to escape by creating a graphic reason, finally making music with my ears and not with a mouse ... and then touch a so-called legend also ...

after a week of use I am generally satisfied, but I have to learn to ... take time!

again clarify things: Although I am no expert and I guess there have been major updates, I think the sequencer&#39;s current MPC 1000 is in many points similar to the MPC 60 and 3000 for example : what makes us an OS 20 years of age ptite my lady!

Coming from the PC world, it&#39;s amazing how it all have to learn to do a backup every detail etc ...
From this point of view, I think I can say that the current OS of mpc is a dinosaur, and it takes a lot of investment ... look at the Roland MV-8000: AC current is a machine! mpc 4000 is the next joke right?
but the positive thing in all this is that we think!! I find it highly rewarding!

with the MPC is a new way of thinking, to build its tracks etc ... and I think in the end people come here really because ... even if the OS and sequencer seem archaic, but it&#39;s still awfully coherent and consistent! I begin to think "MPC" my seq is nothing without my prog properly set and locked on the right track! lol

I think so, all the usual functions are easily accessible, the hard part is to articulate all the usual functions, to make sense of all that, to measure the consequences of each action or edit the entire system .. . an information to the screen but 10 things to think about the same time next!

the manual ... impossible to do without, but also not to type it in one go ... in support tell us!

SOUNDS

Madame is a sampler so ... hum hum I&#39;m not the kind Stinkard "it depends what you put in uncultivated strip!" lol

the sounds of plants are ... useful at first, but a good kick and snare a slight drinking c I will have to nourish the silly knowing that it is a challenge to the big sound it: I would be ashamed to put drums in my ways and yet MPC ca watching me!

term quasi-genius, I tempered because we are good flap ears with super sensitive pads and frankly ... the 16 velocity levels must pick them up!
but it is true that it is enjoyable to tap it, just the symbol ... You believe you there!
but the good I&#39;m quibbling, the pads are well made ...

level sampling ... simplicity is the rule but I Cerchi precisely because sampler with my PC 0404 was not really walk, and I think I lost a lot in potato ...
with the mpc that is enjoyable is to go into the sample stream having just removed the cell of the groove: it&#39;s the same

standard edition of the samples ... Fortunately the OS 10.2 brings slice if this machine would not have much ... and always from the PC world, the editing of regions is prehistoric compared to recycle. Anyway, once all this set up and assigned to the pads, he forgives 5mins gallery: once again we believe it is so good and it sounds!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, 50% of its possibilities I think, and more ... I&#39;m on it are still in the belly I have not even dared to touch the step edit etc ...

what I like is that this machine is limited compared to the PC that I have to sweat out the sounds. I mean with the PC one is stuffed with plenty of sounds, effects, etc ... and I think too many possibilities diminish creativity: I&#39;m talking about self-transcendence rather you see.

Making the most of a limited environment (and still can not say that the MPC is limited, except in relation to solutions apps) rather than control 5% of an environment giganstesque and searched ... Make your choice!

the month I tell myself that I have more excuse, such as producers Beatminerz make fire with MPC 2000 and SP 1200, so if I take not a max MPC 1000 is that I am just bad, and I have to report soon!

this is what I expected from an MPC: open my eyes. I think it succeeded. We understand why the guys are talented talented, and why anyone can be misled by the space of one instrument, thanks to the softwares like fruity loops and Reason. I atention not spit on soft drinks, on the contrary those who make them run at max (9th Wonder is all on fruity loops!) Show what can be learned, and express their talent, which does not depend on the gear but them!

value for money seems slightly excessive ... I got it for 600euros of OCCAZ with 128MB installed, correct me tell you ...

If I crack one of those apps, I think I could get exactly the same, the same dynamics etc ... but here it is, I want to make music, be creative, and not necessarily the eyes remain on my PC at all times.

Ultimately the MPC machines seem to be "human" ... binding and laborious but you mobilize body and soul, you make your music player, not just Consumers can presets, loops etc ... prémachés

How then do not award the 10/10?
