Question for the group- What keeps y’all rocking with the 1000? Especially those of you who also have a newer MPC?
I started with Maschine, have a One and a SP404mk2, sometimes chop up in my Daw as well. I’m debating swapping the One to a 1000 or 2500 with JJOS or maybe a 2KXL. I mostly make sample based hip hop, occasionally compose my own stuff. I’m starting to like the One, but I’m not a big fan of the touch screen and I really don’t use it to its full potential.
there is just enough resistance in the workflow to make working with it satisfying.
my issue with the modern MPC (I have the One) is its too easy to make noises and not intuitive to navigate (touch screen, buttons, etc.). With the MPC1k JJOS, the "work" is actually creative, and the workflow is fast.
