Akai MPC1000 Review

Free shipping, and the lowest price guaranteed on the Akai MPC1000. The Akai MPC-1000 Production Center is a scaled-down, laptop-sized little brother in the renowned MPC series with all the primary features of its bigger MPC siblings. Functions as a portable complement to the MPC2000 and MPC4000 and is a powerful music production tool on its own. It has a friendly interface, easy-to-use MIDI sequencer/drum sampler, and velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for expressive play. 2 separate effects processors plus a main-out processor can be used simultaneously. Also 2x2 pole filters per voice, 2 Q-link sliders for realtime control, and 16MB capacity expandable to 128MB. It saves/loads data to the included 32MB CompactFlash card and connects to computer via USB for drag-and-drop convenience. 2 MIDI in, 2 MIDI out.
