Tidied it up a fair bit too, it was really muddy and sloppy before. Hadn't made anything I like for a while so I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out

Is this normal? Pad threshold is at lowest setting but I still need to use more force than expected to trigger
What Should I do ? First time with an MPC 2000XL
Basically, I recently bought this 💎, but I wanted to upgrade it to version 1.20. When I restarted it, it only shows this message and nothing else. I tried to shut it down and turn it on again and same thing. The drive is a floppy disk Thanks a lot yall 🙏

So can the MPC Key 37 get audio out of an Android device via USB or not?
I've been searching like mad for this one and can't find a definitive answer. I'm trying to hook my Samsung into my K37 through the USB to sample off of YouTube and etc, but I've been unable to get it to work. The various Reddit threads and forum posts aren't consistent about whether it's possible or not so I'm not sure if the issue is I'm doing something wrong or if it just can't be done.
USB plugged in, using the USB-A on the back, set the phone to "file transfer" in the settings, monitor on in the Sampler. I notice when I set the phone to "MIDI" in the USB settings it shows up as a device on the K37 but that isn't what I'm looking for.
Any help?

MPC Sample + MPC One 3.8 glitch. Help! Disk Streaming errors?
Halp. I wanna continue my MPC sample project on my Big Boi, but it's not going as planned. Disk streaming errors, weird noises and akais chatbot is not helping
MPC key 37 discontinued
Just got off the phone with my Sweetwater rep after I paid for a back ordered MPC key 37. He informed me that Akai reached out to them to inform them that the key 37 will no longer be in production.
Afterwards he informed me that it’s maybe a 50/50 shot if they’ll get the current order they placed.
This was supposed to be my first MPC! Maybe it still will be?! 🤞🤞
MPC1000/2500 JJOS users: show your workflow, tips and OS choice
Hey everyone,
I’m using an MPC1000 with JJOS and I’m trying to learn more from people who actually use these machines.
How do you build a full beat on the MPC1000 or MPC2500?
I’d love to hear:
- Which JJOS version do you use? OS2XL, OS3, Free JJOS, OS1, Light, etc.
- Why did you pick that version?
- What kind of workflow does it fit best?
- How do you arrange beats? Sequences, song mode, track mutes, pad mutes?
- Any chopping tips?
- Any drum program setup tips?
- Any mute group tricks?
- Shortcuts or hidden features you use all the time?
- Mistakes you wish you knew earlier?
- Useful upgrades? RAM, pads, CF/SD cards, screen, etc.
I’m especially curious about OS2XL vs OS3 in real use. Not just feature lists, but how it actually feels when making beats.
Would be cool to collect some real-world JJOS workflow tips in one thread.
Thanks!
No groove templates/groove extract on latest MPCs?
Am I tripping or is this just not a thing on MPCs anymore?
Weird for the company that innovated this stuff to not apply it anymore at all... Unless I'm wrong I guess 🤷
I just wanna be me. Made on MPC One, 100% in the box.
Hey what's up everyone. Like the title says, I made a thing on my MPC. Lmk if you have any constructive criticisms, tips, tricks, questions, or anything. I'm an open book.
Why is this not loop not starting over when it gets to 8?
Right when the count gets to 8 I want the loop to start over. But it keeps going for a few chops and messes up the loop

What I am really hoping for... just the Clips and MIDI sequencing
We got the Sample that just does sampling. Please let me get a Clips / Sequencer that does just MIDI, in a small format.
I know it's kind sacrilege but the MPC is one of the best midi sequencers on the market.
