![]() however, they marketed this instrument as having the same velocity sensitive pads as previous models. on the mpc1000, they cut costs in at least two fundamental ways - 1, on operating system design, and 2, on pressure sensor technology. this was their last release just before they were purchased by Numark. ![]() Now, in 2004, akai released the MPC1000.under desperate financial conditions. they used to use a company called Interlink, now they get them from Sensitronics.same good sensor technology. this is a very good sensor for electronic musical instruments. The MPC/MPD/MPK all use the same pressure sensor technology, the force sensing resistor. it really is a long story, but in my opinion it is a pretty clear-cut story. sorry, guys, this is why i hesitated to get into this. now i'm gonna cut and paste what i started writing last night. and now, they are no longer stocking replacement parts for machines that they are still selling. to this day, akai claims that there was nothing wrong with the pressure sensors of the took them YEARS to fix the saving/directory corruption bug. ![]() Item 5: poor support, technical and otherwise. (this is the one saving grace of the mpc1000/s fantastic 3rd party support). He since released his work as a 3rd party OS alternative. a japanese developer went unpaid for his work on the MPC1000/2500 os. however, the stock AKAI os for the mpc1000 lacked some critical features of the 2500 - pure software-based features that would take a few simple code adjustments to port to the 1000.but no. the mpc10 have the exact same ADDA converters and run the exact same processor/ram. artificial, software based limitations included to push the user to purchase higher models. this error actually corrupted other work on your hard drive.also, when you went to create a new folder, the machine runs the risk of freezing. in the akai mpc10, there was a terrible saving bug that created a directory error when you attempted to save over your work. Item 2: critical operating system flaws and negligent developers. the pressure sensor was designed poorly and would break. Item 1: ignoring a critical design flaw in the design of one of their product's pressure sensors. my dealings with akai center around the MPC1000, but the pattern of akai's behavior is typical of what i've seen in other cases. i'll try to give the punctuated version first, then i'll get into the meat of the issue.
