I completely agree. The MPC is superb as a beat maker but it doesn't
compare to the XX-7 as a general purpose sequencer.  The main problem
with the MPCs is that you have to stop and restart them to do so many
things.  The XX-7 can just keep running.

However, there's a new third party OS for the MPC1000 that improves on
Akai's OS in many ways:

I've been running it without problems for a while now.  Definitely
worth the $30.
