Using sample libraries with an AKAI MPC 1000 Sampler

This video tutorial will show you how to use commercial samples with a Akai MPC 1000, with JJ OS 1 installed. Starting with a variety of sample collections such as Urban Ammunition from Zero-G and Tribal Tech House from Sample Magic, you are shown how to first make a selection of drum hits, convert them into the right format with iTunes, transfer them to the MPC via USB, and create a drum program.

I need some information. I have industrial metal band, and I'm guitar/DJ in the band. Is it possible with this tool to set up controlling of live playback of some synths and synchronize the tempo with the drummer. Or the only option just to play the tracks and give the drummer headphones to follow a metronome. Any advice would be useful. Thanks in advance.

If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. I recently got a MPC 1000 (bk) and installed 128 megs of ram and JJOS 3.12. I cannot get samples to load aside from the factory ones that are pre-installed on the machine. I connected my MPC to my laptop via USB and transferred a folder of samples to the compact flash card in my MPC, but I can't load samples from that folder, nor can I go into the folder to view subfolders. Am I doing something wrong?? Do I need to make "kits?" If so, how?

@FishaMastaMirah I'm in the same boat. This is a great vid - one of the few well-put-together MPC videos on YouTube. Well done man!

Make sure that you've installed the latest version of JJ OS 1 (4.99). You can download it for free from Japanese Genious website. Enjoy !
