MPC 1000 v4 Operator’s Manual rev 3.5

Preface: Welcome to the Next Level

Introducing the JJ OS

Welcome to the third revision of the (ocially)

unocial guide to the alternative and ultimate

operating system for your MPC 1000: the JJ OS. Using

this manual, you will be able to totally unleash the full

potential of your MPC 1000. JJ – what does it mean?

And what is this OS about?

About JJ

Well, JJ basically stands for Japanese Jenius, and was

coined by Nym

of mpc-forums.com.

Not much is known about the japanese genius who

is responsible for creating the JJ OS, except that he

has no ties to AKAI. Although his identity remains

unknown, it's clear that his OS is, in fact, an outstanding

piece of soware, providing many long-awaited and

unexpected features. e JJ OS nally turns your

MPC 1000 into a full-blown production tool, with

almost every feature of the MPC 2500 – if not more.

Speaking of features – what are they anyway?

The new features

Well, besides dozens of improvements of already

existing features, JJ implemented Grid Edit,

Non-Destructive Chopping (yes, he really did it!), a

new Program Editor, a Track Mixer, a Pattern Editor,

and MTC & MMC support – just to name a few. For

a full list of all added and changed features, check

out the JJ OS Comparison Chart at the end of this

manual.

About this Manual

is operator's manual describes how to fully utilize

every feature of the pay-versions of JJ OS 1 and

2. Although you could use it as a guide to the free

version too, I'd advise you not to do so, because many

of the controls have changed since version 3.08.

is manual is the result of more than a year of

hard work. A lot of research, writing, designing,

and testing had to be done to realize it. It is the

outcome of combined eorts between me (Stan

Steez), the good people at mpc-forums.com,

and the information provided on JJ's website at

http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000.

I welcome all feedback on the content and

encourage it to be a working document that can be

honed by the experiences of JJ OS users worldwide. If

you have any contributions or error-checks to submit,

please send an email to jjmanual@gmx.net.

How to use this Manual

Although this manual aims for completeness, you

should use it as an addendum to the original MPC

1000 manual as provided by AKAI. Features already

covered in there will most likely not be repeated here.

is manual focuses mainly on new and changed

features which came along during the d evelopment of

the JJ OS. It will guide you through all the necessary

steps – from installation, to getting familiar with all

the new and changed features, to mastering them.

Although it aims mainly at novice users, it's also

suited for everybody using the new OS, because it

includes a few ne tips and production techniques.

Basically, the manual works like this: on one side of

a page you will see screenshots of the MPC's display,

arranged logically in a tree diagram. On the opposite

side of the same page, you will nd a describing text,

which will guide you through dierent operations.

is way, you can either use the tree diagram to

accomplish what you want to do, use the text or

both. If you're looking for a certain feature – like

Auto-Chromatic Sample Assignment e.g. –, you can

just ip through the pages and have a look at the

screenshots or the headlines or use the Index at the

end of the manual. If you're using the digital .pdf

le, you can also use the search function of Acrobat

Reader, or – even better – just click the function you

are looking for in the Index. It is interactive and links

back to the section where the searched feature is

covered. Just click it and you're right there!

Make sure you read the notes and tips at the end

of each section. Also, all web links in the .pdf le are

active and will open in your web browser if you click

them.

Shout Outs

Basically, I want to give props to everybody who

contributed to this manual in whatever shape, form,

or fashion. Special thanks go to Dfect for designing

the dope ass covers. Extra extra special thanks go

out to Don for hours and hours of proof-reading and

correcting my broken denglish! :) Extra Extra special

anks go to JJ himself for providing me with free

serials to be able to let me do my thang.

PEACE... now enjoy working with your new JJ OS

manual.
