Many sounds and very good quality. anyway that is also a sampler so you can prndre sound we want ...
Good effects but the chorus is, to my taste, not efficient enough ...
The sequencer is, I think, easy to use when we know the machines of this type, if not at the beginning that is rather difficult ... personally, then to have it I 'd unséquenceur Yamaha QY 70, so big change ... I thought to perfectly control the sequencer would be useful, but not at all. creéation the first beat after 2 hours without reading the manual.

UTILIZATION

Some parameters are difficult to configure ... the effects are very effective, but to learn how to operate, attention ... on this point, the manual is not at all clear mzis that is, I think, the only downside that I can put.

SOUNDS

I do hip hop, so the base is all the same sample ... on this side, nothing to say, I didn 't need to do things "infeasible" is no problem, it works well.
the sounds of plants are quite effective, as the violins and electronic sounds. but some instruments like the piano is poor ... I must still admit that muvaise quality instruments are few ...

OVERALL OPINION

it's been two months since I use it. I think knowing about 70% capacity of the machine ... the least: some things can be difficult to use, even with the instruction manual
most: everything else! that is a very good machines. at the same time, I don 'ais never tried MPC 1000, s = concurrete its direct ... but I think the MC 808 is more effective just by the fact that their pads, with easy to set certain settings, can be effective as a keyboard. It is better for me to compose a machine that has sampler. € 999, it hurts, but believe me you will not be disappointed at the quality / price ratio.
This choice I would do without hesitation. and do not be undecided by the fact that this is not the "legend" Akai, because in general people prefer the security and n 'dare not think outside the box. It is on that we do not know what to s wait, I have hesitated too long between MC 08 and MPC 1000 ...
