Mpc 1000

Choosing an MPC 1000 to Mix and Sample on Demand

Getting all your music sampling done with one device is essential to making the most of your loops. Get to know more about the fresh sensor pad and adjust your sound with the built-in controls of the Akai MPC 1000 sampler. This module, available on eBay, is compact and gives you direct controls over your input and output sounds.

Does the MPC 1000 need special connections?

Expect to manage a used or new MPC 1000 with common connections for your stereo and instrument inputs. This module is probably compatible with the software and tools you’re now using. The work you achieve with its samples can later be extracted or directly sent to a live output source to monitor and hear.

The many features of the MPC 1000

The more options you have for sampling, the more you can customize. Take a look at these to better see how a fresh Akai MPC 1000 helps you out:

  • 32-voice sampling: Right out of the box, this sampler holds 32 different variations to sounds and instruments. You can work with it as your basic setup, upgraded at the time of purchase.
  • Flash card input: A memory card gives you the option of saving what you have and taking it with you. You won’t need internal storage for this.
  • For Mac/PC: A direct USB connection enables you to adapt to external software whether you’re using a Mac or Intel computer.
  • 64-track sequencing: Playing more than one sound or instrument could be key to composing what you have in mind. This device sequences 64 different tracks and then keeps track of them all.
  • 16MB RAM: The active memory of the Akai MPC 1000 uses 16MB of running RAM to keep even complex music flowing smoothly.
Endless capabilities

This all-in-one package is a dynamic sampler to scale your workload while making it easy to do so. These are some enhancements you can choose:

  • 128MB RAM expansion: Expanding your RAM allows you to manage more. You might consider this your central recording unit, and 128MB makes that option possible.
  • All black: The all-black design has the same specs as others, just with a solid black outer shell.
  • Upgraded: Think of a faster pad, more RAM, and JJOS2XL installations as a model already upgraded once you buy.
  • Sensor pad: Replacing or improving your sensor pad is about control. The touch of it should respond quickly for greater precision and accuracy.
