All these machines have one issue or another.
even the Roland Boss SP range (Dilla, Madlib etc)
the MP 4K also has it's share (Flagship nogal)
Nah, the MP 1K maxed out
( 128 Mb Ram, 80 Gb HD, JJ OS 4.85 , 2BG CF-Card)
is similar to the 2500 with less Dedicated outs
and Song/Sequencer/Note lengths.
Cuff the Akai OS version ,JJ (Japanese Jenius)'s
OS hacks are straight sup'herb.
The OG MPC60/II - MPC3000 is unmatched in pad quality
and Roger Linns OG algorithms.
If you love you're HP Gx Graphing calcs, then this ish is 4 u
otherwise Audacity/Recycle/Wavelab/Aduition is the way to go
with choppin shits up with a decent sequencer to append
velocity/attacks/layering/decay/fx graphically and should I add,
way faster.
The Original Linn Step Editor is intense.
9th Blunder is the only dude signed to a major who bangs beats
from ,'Yes it true', FL.
Thump on u shiny box....
