Am I a total loser for sticking with the Akai OS? I looked at the comparison chart and it didn't seem worth it. I am open to convincing though. It's my first MPC and I am so much more used to the ASR10 that I am feeling a little frustrated yet determined to get fast at using the 1000. I hate having to click around with the arrow buttons though!!!! And man o man have I used the crap out of the data wheel, especially when I accidentally recorded aftertouch info to a monosynth device! That was a painful step edit process.
