NDMD - Old school Akai


Recommended Posts

I managed to offload my much unloved and unused Akai MPC Live on FB Marketplace.. 2 days later with itchy palms and eBay loaded up, I pulled the trigger on an old Akai MPC 1000

She's a bit of an ugly duckling with a couple of scratches and needs some tlc to get her in top shape. Still I bagged it at a fair price so no regrets

 

First impressions, it's great. With the JJOS you have some nifty features like audio recording (actual D2D rather than just samples), some FX built in and lots more

 

Much better quality than the new MPCs (MPC Live, MPC One etc) and driven more by your ears than eyes! Kind of a half way house between the classics (60/3000/2000/xl) and the newcomers

 

Time will tell if she's a keeper

Proper pieces of kit! I never really spent time with the MPCs but for a brief period in my late teens I did a lot of work with an S6000. Akai were always head and shoulders above anyone else when it came to sampling hardware. 

 

Looking forward to hearing how you get on with it!
