FAQs

What is JJOSXL?
JJOS 'XL' is an advanced third party operating system for the MPC1000 and MPC2500 created by the developer who worked on the original Akai OS for the MPC1000/2500. The OS can be purchased from the JJ web site - you'll get a code to enter in your MPC and the software becomes fully functional. The actual name of the software differs depending on the MPC model you own. The MPC1000 version is called JJOS2XL, the MPC2500 version is called JJOS-XL. However the software is essentially identical for both MPCs and for simplicity we refer to both versions as JJOSXL.
-
Is this book suitable for JJOS 128/128XL (the JJOS for XLCD large screens from MPCStuff.com?)
No, this book was written for the 'standard screen' JJOSXL (i.e. JJOS2XL or JJOS-XL). You can of course run the standard JJOSXL on the XLCD large screens, however only half the screen would be used by the OS in this instance.
-
How do I check what OS I'm running?
Go to the OTHER screen (MODE and pad 10). In the top left of the screen your OS will be listed. It should read something like: JJOS2XL Ver.:3.26 or JJOS-XL Ver: 3.26
-
Will this book work with other versions of JJOS?
This course was written specifically for JJOSXL 3.4 - if you run a different version there may be some differences on certain screens, but the overall workflows will still work fine. Please note that this course is no longer actively updated. If you run a completely different JJOS (e.g. JJOS2, JJOS1, JJOS free, or JJOS128XL), then there will be significant differences, so we cannot officially recommend this course for you.
