I don't see the need to release a new 1000. Truley. Just put JJ os on it, and it's all the MPC you'll ever need. lol. I wouldn't upgrade unless mine breaks.
BUT if they were to release a new one. I'd like to see them make it more similar to the 2500. I wouldn't be surprised if the NEW mpc replaces the 2500 and not the 1000 (I seen that sweetwater removed the 2500 from their site and they usually do that right before they pull shit outta production) I could see them dropping prices on the 1000 because the new MPC is going to be cheaper than the 2500, thus making the 1000 cheaper??? I don't know. Just babble. lol
Some things I'd like to see on the MPC 1500 (new name???):
-Higher sequencer resolution: give us 64th notes!
-Give it a BLUE screen, I hate that green. I'm a get me that white screen from the mpcstuff here soon.
-Make the screen HINGED, is it that hard?
-Give it the sliders from the 2500 (and others) they are sooo much easier to use
-Give it the GOOD jog dial, PLEASE
-Make sure the pads aren't crap BEFORE you put it out
-BUY JJ OS from that Japanese kid for a couple million (he deserves it) and put it on there, he made the MPC 1000 WAY better. (or just buy a copy and jock all the features, cuz either way I want it on there stock)
-AND MORE MIDI OUTS, I CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH MIDI OUTS!!!
Do that and I'll buy it for whatever they price it at.
Oh one more thing.... give internal sata conections and not IDE so I can use a solid state drive....
That's all.
