Akai Professional USA announced the delivery of the newest addition to the MPC-Series family, the MPC1000.
Small (not much bigger than a laptop), the MPC1000 inherits many of the major features of its older, bigger siblings but in a compact form factor that makes it ideal for carrying around... to your friends, to a gig, to a session... wherever.
As part of its lineage, the MPC1000 features the sixteen characteristic velocity and pressure sensitive pads that have been an established (and essential) component of the MPC series since its inception.
It also features the original MPC60's transport and locate controls, the unique NOTE REPEAT function plus new additions such as the two Q-Link sliders that allow real-time interaction with tuning, filter cutoff, layer switching, attack and decay
Add to these a two separate multi-effects processors (plus a master output effects processor), two resonant multi-mode filters, 4-way sample layering and velocity switching per pad, two MIDI ins and 32 MIDI channels via the two MIDI outputs, multiple audio outputs (standard), footswitch inputs for 'hands-free' control and you have most of what you'd expect to find.
