Akai MPC1000 Music Production CenterMPC1000B Overview
The Akai Professional MPC1000 Music Production Center combines a 64-Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32-voice Stereo Digital Sampler, with 16 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads in a compact and rugged package that makes it ideal for carrying around.
The MPC1000 inherits many of the major features of older MPCs such as the legendary "feel" and "groove" so that you can be sure that your beats and sequences just swing. It also features the original MPC60's intuitive transport and locate controls, the unique NOTE REPEAT function plus new additions such as the two Q-Link sliders that allow real-time interaction with tuning, filter cutoff, layer switching, attack and decay. Add to these a well established, friendly and intuitive user interface, two separate multi-effects processors plus a master output effects processor, resonant multi-mode filters, 4-way sample layering and velocity switching per pad, two MIDI ins and 32 MIDI channels via the two MIDI outputs, multiple audio outputs as standard, footswitch inputs for "hands-free" control, and you have a dependable "switch on and work" and "out the box" solution to computer sequencer headaches.
The MPC1000 comes with 16MB of on-board memory as standard that can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM. It includes internal preset sounds in flash memory (factory sounds are user-replaceable). Standard Compact Flash is used as the storage medium. Present testing has verified the use of up to 2GB cards with the included 32MB Card. Furthermore, the MPC1000 supports the "Mass Storage Class" USB standard. When connected to a Mac or PC via its built-in USB port, this implementation allows to simply drag & drop data between the computer and the MPC1000's CF card.

This unit is absolutely the best unit yet that I have performed with. I use it in live settings and I am also planning to take it into the studio soon. I am able to have access to almost all of the functions as a play in real time. Whether it is the mixer or the or the recording options which allows me to program new spur of the moment ideas on stage. This unit is so small I don't have to worry anymore about a separate stand I just place on top of my keyboard and it is right there easily accessible. Plus the same number of pads and all of the functionality of all of the other units before. I'm hooked
dis is ai'ght for me
