I’ve heard a lot of people say really good things about “Rip-Cords” their great for on the go so you don’t have to pick and choose whether the USB port charges your SP or if it’s used for audio and MIDI. You can still power your device off a portable battery and have the USB free for whatever!
is it that worth it to have a machine like that only as a MultiFX pedal? just got one to work with my MPC X but im not convinced the £400 I spent on it only to use as a MultiFX, specially because the Akai FX is not that bad at all...Just can't get my head on the Sp404MK2 workflow is just...i dont get it ;0!!!! Regrets...sorry :)
30 bucks with 8 outputs? WOW!! I paid $1200 with the 8 outputs for mines back in 1998. I still use my 2000 Classic, because i love the sound. I care more about sound than i do the convenience. Imo the 2000 Classic is sonically superior over the 2000XL.
I agree on the old Pads and the Pitch +/- on the 2000 sounding better than the Live II. (I own the 2000XL) and love the sound it brings to the table! I prefer the 1000 with JJ OS2XL and also the size compared to the MPC 2500. Check out the Isla Instruments S2400! I love mine and in my eyes it's already a modern day classic! Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this Video and conforming mine about the machine.
in the comparison of mpc 2000 and 2500, the newer one has a much faster and intuitive interface, built-in effects, it is possible to upload jj os, it is better as a device... but it does not have this sound or it is more modern, it has much worse pads, i repeat The classic version pads are the pads the world cares about
Man I just got mine delivered today but I’m at work. I can’t wait to get home and get my paws on it. Truth be told I didn’t need it I got almost every MPC ever made minus the 1000. It was always something about the 2000 that I thought was so sexy even though there’s no tilt screen like the 2000xl and I got 2 of those well 3 one I use for parts only. People who dump on it all I say is, if your track record for making music is not better than Kanye West then don’t talk to me about no AKAI MPC 2000. That cat make history with the ASR-10 and AKAI MPC 2000.
Should anyone get the mpc2000? well how about you listen to DJ Numark from Jurassic5. he produced those albums on the MPC 2K. if you find those beats an inspiration for you to step up. then buy one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XsZKrctSDaw.htmlsi=fOP3k7i87VHWx1S2
Don't trip on how long it's taking to learn the 2000 Bro', I'm looking forward to going thru it the same way (as soon as I get the screen right). I'm literally Twice your age and couldn't afford one of these things back then. LMAO !!! Keep playing with it and I'm sure you will get the Hang of it. Thanks for showing us that "The struggle is Real" (But it's 100% Worth it). I'm looking forward to more of you working with the 2000.
@hardkickz5861 you can add cd rom drive and it comes with digital input and output and you can put a hard drive in like I said shutting down the 2000 period.
Thank you for the video and for pointing out that you will need to learn how to solder and perform repairs on a machine of this age. For someone like me, who isn't techy, a machine like this will quickly turn into a money pit, because I would have to send it to MPC Stuff or someone similar to perform all the repairs.
Yes! I work as an electrician so soldering is no big deal for me. And if you don't solder correctly it can lead to more issues. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
It didn't power on. - ended up being a 50¢ fuse! Then I replaced a couple of buttons and knobs, all in all, I have less than $100 into it- that includes the unit
@@ABSTRACT_MUSIC not powering on is my issue right now, how did u know the fuse was bad? I was thinking I may need to replace the whole power supply, I used a meter and pass the power supply I get no voltage, let me know fam
