ONE STOP BEATS  WHOA!
ONE STOP BEATS was on deck with AKAI & DEF JEF at the 115th AES Convention at Jacob K. Javits in NEW YORK City.  AKAI showcased its latest Music Production Center at the 2003 AES convention.  
Its been confirmed that good things do come in small packages.  Akai has come full circle with the new MPC 1000.  If you're a MPC user you'll be find that Akai has mixed the old with the new to keep things simple.  Non MPC users will find the MPC 1000 to be a breeze. 

Check out some photos and learn more information about the new MPC 1000.
