> NF: What are you using in the studio these days? > LP: I’m rocking the MPC 1000 and the Micro Korg. I like those pieces. Coming from the early clunky drum machine days these are blessings for me because they can damn near fit in your pocket. I like rocking with those and a few modules. I still keep my stuff sample-based so the 1000 is my choice. From 2008 and it is still in his studio as of 2015.

> I make some beats live on the elektron, and others are already sequenced into it. I have the vocal mic also going through the mixer as well as my own voice samples on the MPC that I play with. I also have MIDI notes sequenced into the the MPC pads so that I can perform live using the pads (instead of a midi keyboard or any other controller).

Quick and Easy

Nothing i've used so far is as quick and easy for laying down rhythms and quick melodies. JJ OS2XL - turns it into a pretty powerful sequencer for all my synthesizers as well. I find it more efficient and tactile than using Ableton with less hassle. More fun for live performances as well. Studio in a box. Down side is the learning curve and getting around the fact that it's really 1980s tech... but using what works is what counts, not how fancy your gear is.

I bought it, it bought me

My first sampler was an Akai S2000 which was a budget rack sample player. It didn't impressed me enough since my E-MU 1212m with the Reason NN-XT did the job far-far better. This was around 2004. Then I bought an MPC 1000 in 2011 and the JJOS2XL actual version to replace the annoying Akai OS. So you think, Kontakt or any other software sampler handling things better and more efficient? I bet you will change your mind when you spent a few hour with the MPC1K under JJOS2XL. Far the best and easiest hardware sampler I seen until nowadays. My enthusiasm rooted one hand because the excellent sound engine and another hand because the JJOS2XL operation system. These together makes this beast as a real warrior. It can drive 2 gears outside, and the MPC1K didn't get the terrible MIDI timing problem like the MPC5K, so it can be as precise like any other pro MIDI gear. I tried it in many ways, in the bed at evening, connected my phone's out to the input and sampled some favourite phrase from a science interview with Michio Kaku. On the stage controlling my DAW on the notebook and release some long sample. On my vacation in the hotel room creating the first impressions after an inspirative day. This gear can fit near any situation if you able to plug it. You can expand the memory to 128 MB and add a simple IDE 2.5 HDD. The CF card slot is default. If you don't use the special JJOS2XL format, the basic PGM files can be read by MPC 2500/5000 models. The sequences are compatible except the effects section. For some bad points, it has a terrible workout in physical. If you buy one as second hand, you better to look around for pad set replacement kit, and check the faders if you can!

Great workhorse

This is my workhorse during my live performances. I use the JJOS2xl on it. Very stable midi in and out. Solid as a rock.

Not as good as the 2500, cheap pads and buttons.

Sold the 1000, the 2500 is a lot better and feels built to last longer. My 1000 has multiple issues after light use with the buttons not working.

1st Sampler!

This was my 1st sampler that I purchased and was great for its time. The pads wear easily though and the cf card reader began malfunctioning.
