Is the JJ OS really all that it's cracked up to be? What exactly is it that makes it the hype? I don't think it would take too much longer to just swap a flash card back and forth. I was excited about it until I finally had the MPC and realized how slow the process really is. The USB connectivity with the 1000 is nothing to write home about anyway. I'm really getting swayed towards the MCD model with the built-in flash drive. But yeh, I tried the pads on the XL and they felt amazing in comparison. I guess everyone's got their own preferrence when it comes to anything. It makes me mad just looking at itĭoes anyone think I'm crazy? Please tell me and save me the hassle if I'm being ridiculous. I don't think JJ OS can even make up for the crappy a*s pads, the junky build quality and the poor, cluttered arrangement of the buttons. I'm probably getting a 2000xl after I get rid of this thing. Has anyone found a good place to get their pads fixed? I don't want to ship it out somewhere.

I was thinking Radioshack might be a good bet, but I don't know for sure. I'm wondering if there's a place I can take it that has people who can solder. I'll at least repair it before I toss it into someone else's hands though since I have the decency to do so. I bought a replacement pad from but I'm afraid to deal with the soldering, and I refuse to do the foil trick since I plan on reselling this thing ASAP. Even with full levels on, the mixer maxed and the velocity curves/sensitivity adjusted to their highest/most sensitive levels, the pad still refuses to cooperate. It still works but requires a ton of pressure. I ended up deciding on the 1000 after getting advice from the forum, but now I'm really disappointed as one of the pads has gone bad. I finally got an MPC of my own after a long debate over which model to get.
