The mpc 5k works really good for me as it s so easy to use, love the synth,, a bit raw, but with very nice analog character. I am using for years mpc 1k, elektron boxes, modulars, not every machine fits everyone, much people talk often nonsense, test and think for urself ! in my experience the 5 k is a very very underrated gem: Timeless mpc models and still serious tools uptoday are the 3000, the 2000xl, the 1000 with jjosĪnd hey, surprise…the mpc one is finally a truu mpc again, somehow…not so sure about it’s soundquality though…but should be fine…2500 was already a bit too big and heavy…while the 5000 is just way too much for it’s capabilities…and some might say the 4000 was it…but that’s the only one i’ve never touched…so what do i know… …i was always happy with mpc’s…the 2000 was my main tool for years back in the 90ies…īut when i met my first 10 WITH jjos, i realised how much further options and beyond stuff akai missed out on for all the years and generations of their timeless basic concept…Īpart from the fact that the 5000 is the amount of 20 brickstones in weight and size, it was always a bummer to me, since this one never got it’s own jjos version and had to deal with the original akai os forever…dunno about 2.0 though…but hell yeah, the first os versions it saw were more than just poor…and as far as i know, 2.0 was also nothing but some final bugfixing of the worst no go’s that spooked through that machine since day one…and no, there will never be something u could call a 2.1 something…akai never was elektron…Īnd i can’t confirm, that the 5000 sounds any better than it’s same generation sisters 1000/2500…best in sound always was the 3000…had the same engine/converters as the racksamplers of that era, when akai was state of the art…the worst is the 1000, but only because the fx where hardwired to the mainout, even when off…no problem once u know and use the single outs if u want that little difference…apart from that, the 5000 has the same engine/converters as 1000/2500…all the difference are the endless additional encoders and bigger sized screen…and the lack of a proper os that would really suit her…which will never come since the 5000 was not really selling that much in numbers to make sense for another dedicated jjos…
