To give you an idea of how far reaching the capabilities of the new oscillators and the 32 cells modulation matrix go, this MPC Forum post argues it puts the MPC's synthesis potential beyond an ASM Hydrasynth... The limits of sound design on MPC are now mostly the time invested in it. Free upgrade !

Just when you thought good old cheap MPC One couldn't provide even more value for free...
Oscillators in keygroups/drum programs are wild - the outstanding addition in 3.9: with potentially a different oscillator in each of the eight layers, they turn the basic MPC into a full fledged synthesiser !

I couldn't care less about the new hardware (Gen 1 CPU and RAM on my MPC One isn't limiting me at all), but I'm glad for all the OS 3.9 goodies: cdn.inmusicbrands.com/Software/15J...
Oscillators as sound generator for keygroups and drum tracks open up a whole new domain !

Not surprising: MPC One and Key 37 got the Gen 2 CPU. Surprising: The Oscillators update in firmware 3.9!! All the details here: youtu.be/WqmIaAly6LM

Ugh, OpenSSL supported keygroups and keyshare selection is a mess.
If you specify "X25519:X25519MLKEM768" you might think you get both advertized and both keyshares included, but nope - only the X25519 keyshare is included (although both are advertized).

You're really diving back in!
I couldn't deal with editing samples, assigning keygroups, velocity layers, etc. on that little screen, these days.
(Though, it's much more spacious than an S2K.)

Yeah I’m wondering if I’m having success because my use case is simply converting samples. Perhaps it’d be a nightmare if I was doing so with keygroups, parameters, etc, and creating EXS24 patches for Logic

Something I love about using an old Akai sampler is how “out of time” it feels. The manual is all about making realistic keygroups of conventional instruments, the filter is meant to mimic soft hammer action, the envelope generator presets are geared towards strings, pianos, guitars, acoustic drums
As if it wasn't just a complete inability to design a bassline sequencer that actually sounded like a bass guitar, or a drum machine that sounded like a drum kit.
In reality it was a combination of making dubiously designed kit that was obsolete before it was even released, pure luck.... and drugs.

The Akai S3000/CD3000 manual is satisfyingly large & comprehensive, yet nowhere - despite numerous mentions of how you can copy keygroups - can I find info about how to actually copy keygroups

Buggered if I can find it. Keygroups within a program all seem bound to the program’s midi channel. (It’s not an issue with the default OMNI setting btw…that was my first suspicion)

Any experienced S3000/3kXL users out there? My S900 stuff was 1 program with MIDI channels assigned to the different keygroups. I can’t see a way to do this in the 3k. Am I missing something or do I have to create individual programs per MIDI channel?
It actually works! Reads my old S900 disks, filter sounds good (pretty similar to the one on the MPC3000: not as good as the S900s, shitloads better than on later Akai samplers). Haven’t checked the CD-ROM drive or individual outs yet but it’s looking promising

If you already own hardware synths and drum machines, you can sample them with the Key 37 and create keygroups and drum kits and be able to produce or play anywhere without them. In time all my instruments will be sampled and when desired, i'll use samples of them vs the hardware to produce.
