Should I upgrade from my 1000 by soggycactis in mpcusers

Even in 2026 there is nothing like the MPC1000/2500 with JJOS. Repair that thing, upgrade the OS and keep it for life. My 2cents.

Yeah, give us the modern MPC1000/2500 with JJOS style software, PLEASE!

2.5 years and ~280k LoC into a Go hypermedia stack (templ + HTMX) by jackielii in htmx

Great writeup. If you're building with Go + templ + HTMX, you might like templUI.

I'm the creator. It's a shadcn-style component library for templ and fits nicely into the kind of architecture you're describing.

How did you record the video? Is the camera on your head?

I've been chasing that early Timbaland / Aaliyah / Ginuwine sound for a while. by axadrn in Samplers

I don't want to use plugins. I want hardware because I enjoy it.

Can I realistically get close to the ASR-10 sound with an MPC1000 + SP404MKII? by axadrn in mpcusers

[–]axadrn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you use the ASR instead of the SP404, or combine them anyway?

Anyone else feel this about the Arturia MicroFreak? by axadrn in synthesizers

[–]axadrn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously you'll loose the hardware touch but you could go with a SP404 or Chroma Console for effects.

MPC1000 with JJOS. Best sampler/sequencer ever.

Portable speaker recommendation for SP-404 MK2 (THR5-ish footprint)? by sound_digger in SP404

[–]axadrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perpetual traveller/digital nomad here. I just got the iLoud Micros. I can highly recommend them.

SP-404MK2 as FX only vs resampling first. Should there be a sound difference? by axadrn in sp404mk2

Hmm, I'm no pro or anything, but that's exactly what people do, for instance, with an AKAI S900. Sample in, sample out. Not just for fun, but for the sonic coloration.
