hey dudes, just a heads up to anyone who's ever considered going hardware.

The MPC1000 has had a HOOGE facelift due to some mysterious japanese programmer dude rewriting the operating system.

new features added include

Grid edit
Faster/better file naming
MTC/MMC support
Audio track recording (not just midi anymore!)
Realtime Pitch shift
Bit converter
Ring modulation

and a whole bunch of other stuff that i guess only MPC users would get.

Anyway, I'm pretty chuffed with my machine since this new OS came along, just thought i'd share my joy.

JJ OS, sounds f'n ace. I have a 2kXL that hasn't been touched yet but this tempted me to make the switch to a 1k or 2.5k.

yup, the JJ collective made my 1K  MPC adoreable again, Live 7  & MPC My choice, sometimes Samplitude for mixing

I don't use but reminded me of this Aussie offering for the 3000 - costs a bit but does a fair bit. Called Vallixi:

- new editing features
- MTC/clock to all 4 outs
- hybrid format hard drive partitioning
- 32Mb single files
- new quantising grooves
- hard burnt onto a ROM
etc etc

there you go.

Download version 5. something something, then find out what your code is (i think by trying to save something with the new OS, then paypal him $30 and ask for a password.

or you can just try the free 3. something, but it's missing a lot of cool features.

peace out

ive got os2 on the mpc 1000, and i am truly impressed. Some of the new options make work so much easier.

My favourites are

PITCH ADSR, now i can synthesize percussion from basic waveforms.
Portamento
global Program Editor
99 pgms at once, instead of 24.
