[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Spandex bought a G2 and MPC1000 at the right time didn't he

New MPC1K OS is 'released' (although not on their website yet...)

http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=2561

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

whoah... "the new Audio Input Thru function, enables input signals to be manipulated on the fly—enabling DJs, for example, to input a sound while live on stage, sample it, and assign it to the instrument’s pads for playback"

[r_v]

man, i was all like 'woo hoo' there for a second. but it's still not on the website yet

ahh well, g2 1.4 will be keeping me amused in the meantime

[actionjetzon]

yes yes yes!!! finally

[actionjetzon]

arg, i should read a bit more thoroughly. hope they gonna make it soon

[olv]

ive been keeping a close eye on the mpc forums, for the release date for v2, its just getting annoying now though......sit tight!

[Spandex]

I really timed it right didn't I.. wow.. G2+MPC1k is a fucking setup alright. RAAAAAA.

Anyone on here done the RAM upgrade with non-Akai? I've had a look on the MPC forums and think I know what to get.. but those forums are a bit polluted with "lots of attitude, little knowledge"

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

I'm hoping the blue MPC's get cheaper second hand now the black one is coming out. I definitely prefer the blue one I think.

yeah I've done it, I'll check at home to see which ram I used, as the first one I tried didn't work

[hektor ruiez]

can you not go into some music gear shop and swipe the os off a new demo unit?

Kingston ram work fine for me

KVR133X64SC3/256 Kingston ValueRam 256MB PC133 SDRAM 144pin SODIMM CL3

for some reason you need to get 256MB card even though the mpc only uses 128MB of it.

Anybody fitted a hard disk to their mpc?

i thought about that but I think the OS is written onto a seperate internal flash when it's installed, so it wouldn't be easy (or maybe even possible) to retrieve it.

i'm gonna cover mines in black marker pen and swap it in a shop when no one's looking...

It's something about it being double sided but the Akai only using one side or sommat?

I suspect I will fit an HD.. cos I don't have a compact flash card.. but I do have spare HDs.. so i might as well buy the mounting kit instead of a flash card.

It takes laptop sized drives rather than normal IDE though right?

[yenorom]

Yup, laptop drives only

[Spandex]

Ah.. I have an old broken lappy.. I think it's the drive that's broken tho. Arse.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

It comes with a 32mb flash card as standard tho?

[Spandex]

I shit 32mb.

So does this actually mean you can sample while playing? Thats what i really want to know

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

"Added ability to change sequences by external MIDI program change"

Good for the Nord G2 owners I wonder if you can force it to change sequence immediately rather than waiting for current sequence to finish.

[olv]

that would be blooming handy that, if you could set the sequence change to the quantize, you could get some swish edits going

yeah.. you could use it more like a phrase sequencer.. .but then hasn't some kind of phrase sequencing thing been added? maybe that is the MPC2500.

i can't understand why they did'nt include the grid-edit function from the 2500, the chop-chop and the sample-phrases features are nice ... but they can't tell me that it's not possible to make the grid edit work on the 1000s os.

[bob]

ha ha there goes the weekend.....

[kol]

god damn it im working this weekend.....3 days of next week though

akai's distinction between samplers has always been artifical...

bunch of arses
