Keep Up-to-date!
Before you begin, please note that this book has been written to take into account all
the new features available in the latest operating system from Akai, version 2.10.
This offers significant improvements over the older OS (1.7) and hence if you only
have OS 1.7 in your machine, you need to upgrade the OS straight away in order to
gain full benefits from your MPC1000.
To check your OS, press MODE (so it lights up) and then press pad 10 (OTHER). At
the top, you should see the OS ‘Version’ which is installed. If you do not have at
least 2.10, please refer to chapter 005 – Loading Part 2 for information on how to
update your OS via the Akai web site.
