That same product line you talking about have almost 20 year gap. It is a workstation now. Mpc1k is only sampler/sequencer. You can achieve same results faster on new ones plus lot more. I would say to anyone who have no gear at all to get MPC one as starting point, there is much more bang for its price and whoever have already some gear to make music on and want something different to have different workflow (which I believe often leads to different results) to go for MPC 1k I have two MPC one but I’m recently looking to get mpc1k, I just love how it looks, especially that blue one;)
You hit the nail on the nose! It’s modern, all the while still vintage. Workflow is fast once you’re use to it. Could never part with it. I juggle between that and my 2500 when i want more dedicated outs
I just bought a 1k for $225. It had the 128mb with it and I just bought a HD for it. I had the 2500 back in the day and it's coming back to me. I had the 2000 Classic for a bit too. Still a 💎
The 1000 was the first one i got. It's a work horse really, plus i like the sound more than the 1. It's ideal for making quick loops, made records with Dj Premier on it amongst many other cats, it's quick when it comes to chopping and building tracks. The only thing i didn't like was the fact that the pads died out in no time and the screen replacement was pretty expensive, but all in all? i think it's way nicer than the 1 cos of the sound and functionality. The one got tons of plugins and what not which is cool, but then again, to me it was an overkill. I instantly got a producer block on that joint lol. Great vid!
The 1000 has character.Some might not like that character.But its there.All those banks of commercial samples,plug ins ectect on the new machines are pretty lame most of the time.But……My Live 2 is a whole open ended production/workstation.Kind of leaves the 1000 in the old days as far as finishing tracks.But if you have a daw you can do all that there….
That battery kit though! MAN, it’s portable now, I’ve got a PATA SSD, improved screen and case… This thing rocks my LoFi rig (QY-70, LoFi-12&6, SP-404OG)… I have an MPC Live II as well, use that with high dollar eqpt (SP-555, DB-01, SpazeDrum, Verdana Kick Lancet, Moog Sirin, TherapSID).

Quick question. Am I the only 1 or do you sometimes feels like having so many choices to create beats sometimes becomes counterproductive? I’m not trolling because I have a ton of gear too and feel like production for me has slowed down drastically from when I had just 1 unit without the extras I have now.
I totally agree with you. I said in one of my other videos. "Too many choices stifle creativity." "Limitations enhance it." In my humble opinion. I had a purge about 4 months to get rid of some of my MPCs and was only able to get rid of 3 machines, and 2 were broken.
True I ask the same thing. I have all the newer MPC's including key61 and force, Roland SP404 mk2, Fantom 06, sound modules like Roland Integra 7, XV-5080, JV-1080, Korg M1R and desktop/laptop. I'm usually like wth will I use today? Some are easier than others, but I really enjoy the challenge of limitations. Once I use easier stuff it's like 😎 ain't nothing lol. It's way counter productive though. I forget what I made it on and have no desire to continue the beat once I find it.
Cool video but I gotta point out some things you got wrong (at least in my opinion). You weren’t sampling on the One the correct way, you’re supposed to be on Sampler mode and you can get to straight to editing. You can even set your chopping points right when you are sampling in real time. That’s why you had those extra steps because you were sampling it in audio clip mode. Also the 1000 only supports around 128gb of max storage while the One supports 2tb of max storage. Just a couple pointers, no hate or disrespect.

I got the original MPC1K when it first came out. Still have it, but never updated to the JJOS. Im considering doing it now, as Ive gotten back into beatmaking over the past few years. However, Im wondering if Id be better suited to jump on something newer like the KO Ep133 for the money than upgrading to JJOS? Basically trying to get a new workflow and trying to see what would be the best place for a below $300 amount
If you've used one MPC you can navigate them all. Learning the new workflows is exhausting to me. That is why I'm reluctant to get any different beat machines/groove boxes.
I just gonna put like this,I own an MPC One and used a 1k back in the day and I know everyone loves vintage and all that but we must move with the time and the MPC One tops almost everything over the 1k,it's way more convenient in almost everything,the reason why it's doesn't have multiple outputs is because you can bounce your stems within the OS and when it comes to they way they sound,it's all about you,the MPC One has a clean sound that can be manipulated the way you want,no everyone wants that grit and plus music sonic has changed over the years.I would say the MPC 1000 can't come close to MPC One,I'm just saying but nice video though 🙏🏾
note - RE In / outs - you can't say mpc 1000 - apples oraganges - you can hook at a freakin USB soundcard to the one and track out, not to mention a computer
i use both of them and also love both machines! but for me the one is a way better machine tbh. especially tracking out on the 1000 is a pain while you can export stems on the one. and now with the stems, the one is crazy. the 1000 has a more enjoyable workflow and i like making drumloops on it more because of the nice pads
Just came here to say that on my MPC one, I have a one terabyte SSD, as well as a Bluetooth dongle and a USB hub and a battery all stuck to the bottom it works a treat.
You turned your MPC One into a better Live 2. Can you send some info on the battery. I wouldn't mind adding that. I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of home much it adds to bottom of the One too.
Hey man. I really appreciate this video. Quick question: you said that we can install a synth engine on the MPC 1000 with JJOS. Can you please share some more info on that? I did a quick google search before making this comment, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere about installing a synth on the MPC 1K. I know people often do the pitching every pad up and down to imitate notes on a synth, but noting about an actual synth. Would appreciate if you shed some more light on this. Thanks!
I've been looking all over for this on the JJOS page. I remember seeing it there when I bought the paid version and seeing a video. Now, I can't find it. The closest I see now is what you referred to, added the sample and tuning the pads. This is what I found. ua-cam.com/video/dFkT1CrfYlE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Lazoo2000 ua-cam.com/video/-kdXqsShS8M/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JJSOFTwww.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=1425605
I actually use my 1000 as a sampler synth. It’s pretty simple. You switch the drum program to (INST) then it lets you add single samples and assign them to notes. It also has filters and resonance. And LFOs. I’ll actually make a video on it sometime soon
great video comparioson. many thanks. but what i'd like to know is, do either of these 2 machines have the ability to "layer" or "multi-layer" on each pad. I'm trying to create a Sample Kit of my vintage ludwig drum kit, for remote recording, and would love to be able to have multi-velocity Hits on each pad. so, fot instance, on the snare pad, have 4 different samples, but playing at different velocitys/volumes, depending on how hard you hit the pad!! so the lighter hit sample playes at low volume, then when you hit the pad slightly harder, the next snare sample plays etc etc....? No one seems to be mentioning this in any vids!! any ideas? Thanks
You can layer with both. I don't have the vanilla MPC OS with my 1000 anymore, but I know with JJOS you can layer sounds on pads and make them velocity triggered. And with the MPC ONE it is built in also. It is a feature that is not used much, that may be the reason people don't mention it.
the mpc one has more outs than the mpc 1000 though.. only catch is you need to connect an audio interface to it in order to access them.. but there are indeed 32 output channels on the mpc one
I been trying to load old projects from the 1000 on the one; nd it kind of work, exept for the chops that are messed up I bealive beacuase of the JJOS, I still trying to figure that out, but is nice to work on old proyects or even start creating on the 1000, as the tactile experice is so nice and then use the full MPC one potential to finish the tracks. I was planning maybe to export audio for the chops and playe them as clips on the mpc one.
I tried to save all the drums kits that came with the MPC ONE to use them in the 1000. They changed the way the save the programs now so I still had to create the kits myself. I never tried to open the actual projects though.
@@ppic7162 i was just playing around, and because i have a sd to compact flash adaptor it was very easy, but I was surprise that it worked somehow. I still love to use the 1000 and it was a nice surprise.
i like this video.....i like the bias too. Never had a 1k. I see someone in the comments mentioned the newer mpcs are like workstations which is correct. With the Mpc One being a workstation it also provides the opportunity for the Mpc One to be the center piece in the studio despite the Mpc X being the flagship. The 1k does not have the ability to be the center piece of the studio even though 1k has more IO than the Mpc One. Thats whats crazy about the Mpc One you can buy in and get the sequencer at a lower price and incorporate the mpc however you need in your system.... The newer mpcs are just taking advantage of the technology upgrades that exist that not everyone needs...but allowing the availability for example midi/audio over usb... 1K cannot be an all around studio utility like the Mpc One. Very few machines can and i know nobody can name 5 of them
So I gotta ask, because I hear this a lot, but then also with your conclusion of the 1000 being better. If all modern day MPC's are the same "computer" would the 1000 be better than the Live 2 and X?
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
I feel like the MPC one's workflow isnt exactly fluid and it causes you to lose momentum when trying to go between different parts of the operating system and that prohibits you from being able to get in a really great Flow State.
Yoooo! I watch your videos all the time,. Your voice belongs on radio or voice over work. I feel privileged. I watched the "Serato Studio Cookin Boom Bap Banger" just this morning riding my Peloton. Respect!
I have both and added same samples to both. Even though MPC one has ,,better" quality sound I like the sound of MPC 1000 more, I feel like the drums hit harder. It might be compressor inside that make the drums ,,hotter" on the way out
@@eldflaug I was just testing his SUB! Bro! You are right, I agree. I have the Mpc One and the Mpc2000xl My MPC 2XL hits hard as fuck compared to the MPC one. But the features on the One kill the mpc2000xl
2 things: 1. When you gave the “edge” to the 1000 in the storage department… due to the ability to add an internal harddrive…. Essentially the SD card IS a harddrive… but not only is it basically a harddrive, it is flash memory, basically an SSD, and removable..so you could (like I do) make a beat on your MPC One, while away from studio, then take the card out and put it into your MPC X and continue creating… it is more versatile and as you stated, up to 2TB… the 1,000 I’m sure can only install disc hard drives and probably only up to 500gb tops… but most likely less than that.. MPC One should of win that round 2. I didn’t keep track, but I believe mpc one won more rounds, so how does the win go to 1,000? I understand it’s your opinion and I respect it, but I could of swore more rounds went to ONE… 🤷🏾♂️ either way dope video, much respect ✊🏽
You are right about the sd card being equivalent. But, I still would rather have an internal hard drive and cf card reader than an sd card reader alone. I just lost a 512gb sd card. And I washed a 256gb it in my pants pockets and lost all that data also.13:43 is the final tally. It was 4 to 3 MPC 1000.
Dope video, but I couldn’t disagree more. The newer MPC’s have a workflow that is unmatched. Sample tap allows you to chop while sampling, mother ducker makes beats bump, and the included plug-ins (synths, drums, dynamic processing) allows you to do everything (vocals mixing, mastering, or exploding tracks) inside the box.
I agree totally. But there is a certain "magic" to the older MPCs. It's strange, I know. I may be looking at this through those "nostalgia goggles" that we have as we get older and wish for simpler times. The newer MPCs have everything, and I can't figure out if that's a plus or minus.
@@Skulptursound only after you’ve sampled into the 1000/2500. On the newer MPC’s, you can chop when you initially sample, and it will automatically put your chops into a mute group. I LOVE my 2500. I used it for 17 years exclusively, but the workflow on the X/Live/One is BUTTER!! 🙌🏽
@@CreamOfBeats totally, I get it. I’m mostly on koala in AUM due to time, definitely need more time for the older mpcs, but there is a peace that comes over me using the older gear, I prefer chopping by ear/number on my 500 then using the 1000.. I haven’t used the newer mpcs yea, I learned the software to see if I would get along with it, and it was ok, but I prefer Reason and mimic sampler.
Good video breakdown… I’ve always wanted a 1000 to customize but I priced out buying everything on MPC Stuff and it was ridiculous; it would cost over $700 for new buttons, pads, screen etc. I blacked out my 2000Xl for under $500 new skin, buttons and screen! I want the MPC one just for collectors sake…I probably wouldn’t use it much since I have all the older machine 60, 3000, 2000Lx but to complete the the family a 1000 would be sweet? We’ll see… For showdowns let’s go 3000 against 1000 for kicks lol. ✌🏽
Thanks! I never use my MPC 2000xl. Right now it is the worst for me. And I've had the most problems from the 3 2000xls that I had. More than the Live 2. How is the MPC 60? I just bought one, but it hasn't arrived just yet.
@@ppic7162 - what type of issues are you having with the 3k? My tech told me a while back that the inverters on the 3k will go out and either you’ll lose the screen backlight or it will give you a buzzing hum. The 60 is cool for lo fi and drums but it doesn’t have a filter and only 26 seconds but besides that it’s the same workflow as the 3k. Oh and you need Double Density Floppy Disk for the 60 which are not easy to find, I have about 50 blanks laying around! And the 60 is 12 bit which can give you that dirty sound but actually I’m so use to the 3k 16 bit the 60 I just have for decorations and collecting!
@@ppic7162 congratulations on the 60, it’s huge by the way…you may need to charge it rent lol. But yeah let me know if you need floppies 💾 I have a few extra! It takes the Double Density floppies! You can use High Density but you would have to put tape over the right side of the floppy disk! I believe…
@@knowEgo That's the reason why I've not bothered getting a 60 or finish renovating my departed friend's 60 II. I'm more than happy with my 3000. I think PPIC had his problems with the 2000xl. I've become good at working on modifying the 2000xl. I've put a new sensor sheet, new pads, change the floppy drive to a CF drive, fixed the individual output board, put a new screen in which was the most challenging along with sorting out the individual outputs board. A faulty corrupt CF card made me think that I didn't do the job correct but taking out the card made everything work. It's part of owning a vintage MPC. Be prepared to open it up and fix it. Well open every one except the 3000. That really looks complicated inside lol
MPC One/Live/X wins hands down on I/0 if you add a audio interface or USB class compliant mixer you can have 32 ins and 32 outs and extra midi ins and outs not to mention phantom powered mic preamps..
I intentionally left the sound out because of my DJing all those years, I have tinnitus. So I can't really hear a difference. I hear it on the MPC 60, and the 3000. Even the 2000xl, but I don't hear a real difference on these. I didn't think the phone microphone would pick it up either. But, If I had to say, I would say the 1000 sound better.(biased opinion of course.)
For sound, MPC 1000 definitely is better on the warmth. MPC One sounds like you’re producing on a computer with a DAW. The MPC 1000 definitely makes the output that iconic MPC sound.
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
@@hiphopchannel6257 How so? The MPC 1k and 25k both have the exact same sound modules. They’re literally the same unit with a different size and a 25k disc drive, which is why JJOSXL is built specifically for these two. It’s also about how you’re mixing on it.
Idk man feel like the One got cheated lol. Sampling on the one is a lot easier though. You had it going good just fumbled on the q-link part trying to get the end loop lol. Also its easier to sample where you started originally...Not sure if you purposely left out the Daw software integration and what it brings as a controller. Then also the class complient plug and play stuff, audio interface. Auto-sampler. Then all kinds of software things...like yeah the 1000 can have instruments, but really limited to whats there. Storage space is like 10 fold. New age flex...you could use the One in the dark with the buttons....although the screen you got on the 1000 maybe. Im just being hyper critical...not even serious. It all depends on how you make your beats in the first place and what appeals to you. Some things are not on the radar and can easily get overlooked.
Yeah, it is totally biased. It's how I feel right now. Next week it may change. I didn't have the camera in focus on that part for some reason. I'm too lazy to go back and record it the right way. So I just left it in.
@@ppic7162 You a different MPC breed. Usually MPC heads will brawl in the comments to support their favorite lol. There is no right one though. People just gravitate to specific hardware for their own reasons. The one thing though is on the older MPC's you got receipts for the hits made in it. The newer ones there's only JD playing around with it, Scott Storch doing the usual demo showcase lol. I'm just waiting for the history to be made. Like 4 MPC's later we'll appreciate it all a lot more than now. Tough though with all these same things different form factors.
@@THA-REAPER I'm easy. The MPC community can be toxic at times. Everyone is in their corners. Someone in the comments said it best for me, "The Older MPC are musical instruments and the newer ones are like D.A.W.s.
The 1k has more outputs than the One. You can track a beat with it instead of having to export all of the tracks. I think this is a wash. You can export all tracks at the same time with the one, but the 1k has 3 times the outputs.
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
There's always a lot of nostalgia bias with these legacy MPC reviews and this one is no different. There's a reason why 16 years of further development of the MPC platform happened, you know.
I agree with you. But, there is also a charm with the older MPCs. And it is nostalgia bias, as with my MPC 2000xl review from a couple years ago, I shitted on the older MPCs. But, the more I used them, the more I understood what made them special in the first place. ua-cam.com/video/7fXKwf7eSkg/v-deo.html
It's not nostalgia bias though. I sold my old mpcs when I ordered the live, expecting the live to be good. The new mpcs are built cheap and sound weak af compared. Biggest mistake I made was to sell my old ones. That was a few years ago, I'm now looking to buy an old mpc or two to correct my mistake.

Just subbed Good Content where did you purchase the needle for your Turntable ?
i use both of them and also love both machines! but for me the one is a way better machine tbh. especially tracking out on the 1000 is a pain while you can export stems on the one. and now with the stems, the one is crazy.
the 1000 has a more enjoyable workflow and i like making drumloops on it more because of the nice pads
Just came here to say that on my MPC one, I have a one terabyte SSD, as well as a Bluetooth dongle and a USB hub and a battery all stuck to the bottom it works a treat.
You turned your MPC One into a better Live 2. Can you send some info on the battery. I wouldn't mind adding that. I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of home much it adds to bottom of the One too.
@@ppic7162 here’s my video on the battery install on the mpc one. ua-cam.com/video/WKRvt0s0_UM/v-deo.htmlsi=4WJcaE_X9FGFMLYS
Hey man. I really appreciate this video. Quick question: you said that we can install a synth engine on the MPC 1000 with JJOS. Can you please share some more info on that? I did a quick google search before making this comment, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere about installing a synth on the MPC 1K. I know people often do the pitching every pad up and down to imitate notes on a synth, but noting about an actual synth. Would appreciate if you shed some more light on this. Thanks!
I've been looking all over for this on the JJOS page. I remember seeing it there when I bought the paid version and seeing a video. Now, I can't find it. The closest I see now is what you referred to, added the sample and tuning the pads. This is what I found. ua-cam.com/video/dFkT1CrfYlE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Lazoo2000

I actually use my 1000 as a sampler synth. It’s pretty simple. You switch the drum program to (INST) then it lets you add single samples and assign them to notes. It also has filters and resonance. And LFOs. I’ll actually make a video on it sometime soon
great video comparioson. many thanks.
but what i'd like to know is, do either of these 2 machines have the ability to "layer" or "multi-layer" on each pad.
I'm trying to create a Sample Kit of my vintage ludwig drum kit, for remote recording, and would love to be able to have multi-velocity Hits on each pad.
so, fot instance, on the snare pad, have 4 different samples, but playing at different velocitys/volumes, depending on how hard you hit the pad!! so the lighter hit sample playes at low volume, then when you hit the pad slightly harder, the next snare sample plays etc etc....?
No one seems to be mentioning this in any vids!!
any ideas?
Thanks
You can layer with both. I don't have the vanilla MPC OS with my 1000 anymore, but I know with JJOS you can layer sounds on pads and make them velocity triggered. And with the MPC ONE it is built in also. It is a feature that is not used much, that may be the reason people don't mention it.
@@ppic7162 Thats great.
many thanks for your reply, thats really helped me.many thanks, and keep up the great video's
the mpc one has more outs than the mpc 1000 though.. only catch is you need to connect an audio interface to it in order to access them.. but there are indeed 32 output channels on the mpc one
I been trying to load old projects from the 1000 on the one; nd it kind of work, exept for the chops that are messed up I bealive beacuase of the JJOS, I still trying to figure that out, but is nice to work on old proyects or even start creating on the 1000, as the tactile experice is so nice and then use the full MPC one potential to finish the tracks. I was planning maybe to export audio for the chops and playe them as clips on the mpc one.
I tried to save all the drums kits that came with the MPC ONE to use them in the 1000. They changed the way the save the programs now so I still had to create the kits myself. I never tried to open the actual projects though.
@@ppic7162 i was just playing around, and because i have a sd to compact flash adaptor it was very easy, but I was surprise that it worked somehow. I still love to use the 1000 and it was a nice surprise.
I saw 👀 a video 📹 saying that you can transfer files over from old Mpc to Mpc Live and Mpc X
i like this video.....i like the bias too. Never had a 1k. I see someone in the comments mentioned the newer mpcs are like workstations which is correct.
With the Mpc One being a workstation it also provides the opportunity for the Mpc One to be the center piece in the studio despite the Mpc X being the flagship. The 1k does not have the ability to be the center piece of the studio even though 1k has more IO than the Mpc One.
Thats whats crazy about the Mpc One you can buy in and get the sequencer at a lower price and incorporate the mpc however you need in your system....
The newer mpcs are just taking advantage of the technology upgrades that exist that not everyone needs...but allowing the availability for example midi/audio over usb...
1K cannot be an all around studio utility like the Mpc One. Very few machines can and i know nobody can name 5 of them
I'm buying the 1000 pad repair kit soooooon as I get my refund from the Ep Ko ii 🤣🤣. I got the 1st gen 1k with the bad pads.
So I gotta ask, because I hear this a lot, but then also with your conclusion of the 1000 being better. If all modern day MPC's are the same "computer" would the 1000 be better than the Live 2 and X?
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
I feel like the MPC one's workflow isnt exactly fluid and it causes you to lose momentum when trying to go between different parts of the operating system and that prohibits you from being able to get in a really great Flow State.
Fun video , like the authenticity
Yoooo! I watch your videos all the time,. Your voice belongs on radio or voice over work. I feel privileged. I watched the "Serato Studio Cookin Boom Bap Banger" just this morning riding my Peloton. Respect!
@@ppic7162 my mans I appreciate that 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I want that MPC 1K!!
what about sound quality? which one hits harder? thanks!
I have both and added same samples to both. Even though MPC one has ,,better" quality sound I like the sound of MPC 1000 more, I feel like the drums hit harder. It might be compressor inside that make the drums ,,hotter" on the way out
@@eldflaug I was just testing his SUB! Bro! You are right, I agree. I have the Mpc One and the Mpc2000xl My MPC 2XL hits hard as fuck compared to the MPC one. But the features on the One kill the mpc2000xl
stems just came out though. joint 9.9!. yeeeeaaaahhhh
2 things:
1. When you gave the “edge” to the 1000 in the storage department… due to the ability to add an internal harddrive…. Essentially the SD card IS a harddrive… but not only is it basically a harddrive, it is flash memory, basically an SSD, and removable..so you could (like I do) make a beat on your MPC One, while away from studio, then take the card out and put it into your MPC X and continue creating… it is more versatile and as you stated, up to 2TB… the 1,000 I’m sure can only install disc hard drives and probably only up to 500gb tops… but most likely less than that.. MPC One should of win that round
2. I didn’t keep track, but I believe mpc one won more rounds, so how does the win go to 1,000?
I understand it’s your opinion and I respect it, but I could of swore more rounds went to ONE… 🤷🏾♂️ either way dope video, much respect ✊🏽
You are right about the sd card being equivalent. But, I still would rather have an internal hard drive and cf card reader than an sd card reader alone. I just lost a 512gb sd card. And I washed a 256gb it in my pants pockets and lost all that data also.13:43 is the final tally. It was 4 to 3 MPC 1000.
Ahhhh! How can you put your keys on on top of your mpc pads!?!?
What’s that beat playing in the intro please 🙏 I want it🔥
Nice work space!!!👀🫡
Thanks 💯
Dope video, but I couldn’t disagree more. The newer MPC’s have a workflow that is unmatched. Sample tap allows you to chop while sampling, mother ducker makes beats bump, and the included plug-ins (synths, drums, dynamic processing) allows you to do everything (vocals mixing, mastering, or exploding tracks) inside the box.
💯💯
I agree totally. But there is a certain "magic" to the older MPCs. It's strange, I know. I may be looking at this through those "nostalgia goggles" that we have as we get older and wish for simpler times. The newer MPCs have everything, and I can't figure out if that's a plus or minus.
You can real-time chop in the 1000 too, as long as you have jjos3 or the one that he has
@@Skulptursound only after you’ve sampled into the 1000/2500. On the newer MPC’s, you can chop when you initially sample, and it will automatically put your chops into a mute group.
I LOVE my 2500. I used it for 17 years exclusively, but the workflow on the X/Live/One is BUTTER!! 🙌🏽
@@CreamOfBeats totally, I get it. I’m mostly on koala in AUM due to time, definitely need more time for the older mpcs, but there is a peace that comes over me using the older gear, I prefer chopping by ear/number on my 500 then using the 1000.. I haven’t used the newer mpcs yea, I learned the software to see if I would get along with it, and it was ok, but I prefer Reason and mimic sampler.
That screen on mpc1000 is dope man .. when did that come out. The screen
It's been out for years. mpcstuff.com sells them. www.mpcstuff.com/mpc-1000-xlcd-large-lcd-screen-kit-for-akai-mpc1000/
thanks for the info. is the bigger screen wobbly at all?
wondering if you can put in s bag without fear of breaking it off…
Good video breakdown…
I’ve always wanted a 1000 to customize but I priced out buying everything on MPC Stuff and it was ridiculous; it would cost over $700 for new buttons, pads, screen etc. I blacked out my 2000Xl for under $500 new skin, buttons and screen!
I want the MPC one just for collectors sake…I probably wouldn’t use it much since I have all the older machine 60, 3000, 2000Lx but to complete the the family a 1000 would be sweet? We’ll see…
For showdowns let’s go 3000 against 1000 for kicks lol. ✌🏽
Thanks! I never use my MPC 2000xl. Right now it is the worst for me. And I've had the most problems from the 3 2000xls that I had. More than the Live 2.
How is the MPC 60? I just bought one, but it hasn't arrived just yet.
@@ppic7162 - what type of issues are you having with the 3k? My tech told me a while back that the inverters on the 3k will go out and either you’ll lose the screen backlight or it will give you a buzzing hum.
The 60 is cool for lo fi and drums but it doesn’t have a filter and only 26 seconds but besides that it’s the same workflow as the 3k. Oh and you need Double Density Floppy Disk for the 60 which are not easy to find, I have about 50 blanks laying around! And the 60 is 12 bit which can give you that dirty sound but actually I’m so use to the 3k 16 bit the 60 I just have for decorations and collecting!
@@ppic7162 congratulations on the 60, it’s huge by the way…you may need to charge it rent lol. But yeah let me know if you need floppies 💾 I have a few extra! It takes the Double Density floppies! You can use High Density but you would have to put tape over the right side of the floppy disk! I believe…
@@knowEgo That's the reason why I've not bothered getting a 60 or finish renovating my departed friend's 60 II. I'm more than happy with my 3000.
I think PPIC had his problems with the 2000xl. I've become good at working on modifying the 2000xl. I've put a new sensor sheet, new pads, change the floppy drive to a CF drive, fixed the individual output board, put a new screen in which was the most challenging along with sorting out the individual outputs board. A faulty corrupt CF card made me think that I didn't do the job correct but taking out the card made everything work. It's part of owning a vintage MPC. Be prepared to open it up and fix it. Well open every one except the
3000. That really looks complicated inside lol
I had both ..only had the 1000 a couple months tho
Which one do you like the most? Which do you use the most?
LOL :D :D for sure :D :D
MPC One/Live/X wins hands down on I/0 if you add a audio interface or USB class compliant mixer you can have 32 ins and 32 outs and extra midi ins and outs not to mention phantom powered mic preamps..
Bro, they keep taking down my comments. I sent the link to your better half,. Lol
My better half never logs onto UA-cam, That's how I get away with buying so much crap. LOL! You can send from my website: ppicapps.com/contact-us
MPC 1k faster work flow, sounds way better. New one tried to cram a DAW into a box.
You just a fan boy of retro gear it's not better and never will be
@@Allious131 sounds better
@@DanielIvan707 Naw it's in your head bruh I can do that sound with vsts using my my mpc x in controller mode.
,Nice video. But lets agree to disagree.
what about the sound
I intentionally left the sound out because of my DJing all those years, I have tinnitus. So I can't really hear a difference. I hear it on the MPC 60, and the 3000. Even the 2000xl, but I don't hear a real difference on these. I didn't think the phone microphone would pick it up either. But, If I had to say, I would say the 1000 sound better.(biased opinion of course.)
the more digital it is my ear gets fatige@@ppic7162
For sound, MPC 1000 definitely is better on the warmth. MPC One sounds like you’re producing on a computer with a DAW. The MPC 1000 definitely makes the output that iconic MPC sound.
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
@@hiphopchannel6257 How so? The MPC 1k and 25k both have the exact same sound modules. They’re literally the same unit with a different size and a 25k disc drive, which is why JJOSXL is built specifically for these two. It’s also about how you’re mixing on it.
Idk man feel like the One got cheated lol. Sampling on the one is a lot easier though. You had it going good just fumbled on the q-link part trying to get the end loop lol. Also its easier to sample where you started originally...Not sure if you purposely left out the Daw software integration and what it brings as a controller. Then also the class complient plug and play stuff, audio interface. Auto-sampler. Then all kinds of software things...like yeah the 1000 can have instruments, but really limited to whats there. Storage space is like 10 fold. New age flex...you could use the One in the dark with the buttons....although the screen you got on the 1000 maybe.
Im just being hyper critical...not even serious. It all depends on how you make your beats in the first place and what appeals to you. Some things are not on the radar and can easily get overlooked.
Yeah, it is totally biased. It's how I feel right now. Next week it may change. I didn't have the camera in focus on that part for some reason. I'm too lazy to go back and record it the right way. So I just left it in.
@@ppic7162 You a different MPC breed. Usually MPC heads will brawl in the comments to support their favorite lol. There is no right one though. People just gravitate to specific hardware for their own reasons. The one thing though is on the older MPC's you got receipts for the hits made in it. The newer ones there's only JD playing around with it, Scott Storch doing the usual demo showcase lol. I'm just waiting for the history to be made. Like 4 MPC's later we'll appreciate it all a lot more than now. Tough though with all these same things different form factors.
@@THA-REAPER I'm easy. The MPC community can be toxic at times. Everyone is in their corners. Someone in the comments said it best for me, "The Older MPC are musical instruments and the newer ones are like D.A.W.s.
The 1k lost on outputs also you can expand the one with a usb audio
The 1k has more outputs than the One. You can track a beat with it instead of having to export all of the tracks. I think this is a wash. You can export all tracks at the same time with the one, but the 1k has 3 times the outputs.
For me the mpc 1000 is the worst mpc, even with the JJOSXL. The workflow is cool but the sound is weak. This is an mpc to break the habit. Comparing the lame crutch with the mpc one is a joke. The Mpc one iz a Beast
Just say you cannot produce on it or mix on it. 🙄
There's always a lot of nostalgia bias with these legacy MPC reviews and this one is no different. There's a reason why 16 years of further development of the MPC platform happened, you know.
I agree with you. But, there is also a charm with the older MPCs. And it is nostalgia bias, as with my MPC 2000xl review from a couple years ago, I shitted on the older MPCs. But, the more I used them, the more I understood what made them special in the first place. ua-cam.com/video/7fXKwf7eSkg/v-deo.html
It's not nostalgia bias though. I sold my old mpcs when I ordered the live, expecting the live to be good. The new mpcs are built cheap and sound weak af compared. Biggest mistake I made was to sell my old ones. That was a few years ago, I'm now looking to buy an old mpc or two to correct my mistake.
