Akai MPC1000 Sampler / Drum Machine

The MPC1000 inherited all of the essential features which made the MPC series a certified hit, so it is not only a perfect complement to its larger MPC siblings, but a powerful Music Production Center in its own right. The MPC1000 combines a 64-Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32-voice Stereo Digital Sampler, with 16 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads. 16MB of on-board memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM. You can save your work to a Standard Compact Flash Card (up to 2GB). A preloaded CF card is included, to get you going.

When connected to a Mac or PC via its built-in USB port, you can simply drag and drop data between the computer and the MPC1000's CF card. The MPC1000 is small, rugged and incredibly portable for an easy fit into a backpack or laptop bag for the traveling producer.
