MPC 1000 v4 Operator’s Manual rev 3.5

Switching from an AKAI OS to the JJ OS 1

01. Download the latest version of JJ OS 1 from http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/

02. Put the binary le (.bin) on a Compact Flash (CF) Card. Required for upgrade!

03. Put the CF Card with the new OS data into your MPC 1000.

04. Fire it up while holding down the [WINDOW] button.

05. Press [REC] button – the software update starts. After that, the MPC reboots with JJ OS 1 running.

Updating from earlier JJ OS 1 releases | Installing JJ OS 2

Updating to the lastest OS 1 version as well as installing OS 2 both use the same method, except that you need to have JJ

OS 1 (v. 4.98 or higher) installed before you can install JJ OS 2. To update your OS (both OS 1 and 2), do the following:

01. Download the latest version of JJ OS 1 and/or 2 from http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/

02. Mount the MPC via USB Function: [MODE], Pad 2 (Load), F3 (USB).

03. Copy the new OS 1 or 2 data (.bin or .os2) to the selected drive of the MPC 1000 (either CF Card or HDD).

04. Press LOAD (F1) on your MPC and select the new OS (e.g. mpc1000_jv499g.bin or mpc1000_jv107.os2)

05. Press [DO IT] twice and the update starts. Wait until the installation is nished.

06. Restart the MPC to nish the update process.

IMPORTANT: Updating from an AKAI OS to the JJ OS requires a CF Card, because you can't open .bin or .os2 les running an

AKAI OS! After the new OS is installed, the settings for changing the display’s contrast are different. Use [STOP] and [DATA

Wheel] to set the contrast!

TIP: The old upgrade method – using a CF card – still works with the new OS, but the second is easier and more exible,

especially if you want to switch back and forth between different versions.

How to obtain a password for OS 1 and 2

To be able to save your work, you need to register your copy of the JJ OS. A password for JJ OS 1 costs 30 US-Dollars. If

you want to work with JJ OS 2, you need a registered JJ OS 1 and a second serial for JJ OS 2, which costs 49 US-Dollars.

The required password(s) can be bought online via PayPal from JJ's homepage. Do the following to retrieve a password and

activate your copy of the JJ OS (same procedure for both OS versions):

01. Press [MODE] + PAD 3 to see the Product ID on the display.

02. Write the Product ID down or just leave the MPC's screen in sight.

03. For registering JJ OS 1 visit http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/paypal/ and follow the instructions on screen to buy

and retrieve your password(s). For registering OS 2 visit http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os2/paypal/

04. A password will be sent to you within 24 hours (some people got theirs after about ten minutes).

05. To complete the process, enter the password you retrieved via email below the Product ID. Done.

NOTE: Once you’ve entered the password(s) correctly, the MPC 1000 stores it, so that you can easily switch between various

versions of the OS (AKAI as well as JJ) without entering the serial ever again!
