I love the mpc5000.
If someone has a gripe with it its only cuz they don`t undertstand all it`s features.
Or they get the wrong impression from reviews done on the old OS.
What the Mpc5000 is in a nutshell is the Mpc with the most features to date.
It is also a BIG time saver for me.
I have owned and mastered every mpc to come out since the mpc60,and I would use this one before another other model.
As far as issues I have not run into any and have made hundreds of beats since I got mine a few years ago..
I am ready for a new MPC though,I sure hope Akai has something even more mind blowing in the works.
But until then my Mpc5000 will be the center of my production setup.

I held out on buying the mpc 5000 when it first came out because of the problems I heard people had with the original OS. Now it's been a while and the 2.0 OS is live. I was just wondering what everyone thought of it, any issues still?
