Akai MPC1000

Akai MPC1000 Description

Production power, on the move.

Inheriting all the essential features which make the MPC series so iconic, the MPC1000 is not only a perfect complement to its larger MPC siblings, but a powerful Music Production Center in its own right. The MPC1000 combines a 64 Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32 voice Stereo Digital Sampler, with 16 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads.

16MB of on board memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM. You can save your work to a Standard Compact Flash Card (up to 2GB). A preloaded CF card is included, to get you going.

When connected to a Mac or PC via its built in USB port, you can simply drag & drop data between the computer and the MPC1000's CF card. Incredibly portable, the MPC1000 is small and ruggedly designed, to easily fit in a backpack or laptop bag for the traveling producer.
