“Up for auction is a Special Edition Akai MPC 3000 re-issue which is being sold to pay for school. Unit is in great condition with the usual wear from use and kept in a smoke free studio. Custom wood side and front rails with red main select and backlight/contrast knobs. All drum pads are fully fuctional and very responsive. All rotary knobs rotate freely without binding and switches are fully fuctional and snappy. The silk screen letters are starting to fade from the Record and Play buttons but are still ledgible and can be replaced rather easly in the future. All LEDs are bright and light up when the function is active. LCD Backlight is bright and display has no lines or missing pixels. Unit has a Zip 100 drive installed and is fully functional. Memory is maxed out at 32 megs of RAM for full sampling time. This MPC does have the VGA option installed but it has not been tested as I don’t have an early VESA compliant monitor to check it. Audio inputs are clean sounding and gain is fully fuctional. L/R stereo out, headphone out, and all 8 individual outputs have been tested and are fully fuctional and clean sounding. MDI functionality has been tested and works great.

OS has been upgraded to Mansell Labs Vailixi 3.50 which provides hybrid Zip Disc partitions that can be read by Mac and Windows for easy file transfer. Details can be found here: http://www.mansell-labs.com. The original Akai OS 3.10 has been included with the unit in a protective case.

- Akai OS 3.10 in protective case (If buyer decides to go back to the original OS but who would want to)

- Power Cord

- Audio cable snake with 8 individual ¼ male to male connectors

- External ZIP 100 drive with USB to transfer files from a Mac or PC. Unit recognized with latest version of Snow Leapard. Don’t have a PC so can’t check compatability with latest windows OS. Drive comes with a USB cable and original power supply.

- (3) ZIP 100 disks with formatted hybrid partitions for Mansell Labs OS Vailixi 3.50.

- (1) CD-ROM from Bangin’ Beats with tons of drum samples to get started. Contains a majority of their current crate lists.

“Up for bids is an AKAI MPC 3000 drum machine, sampler and sequencer, designed by Roger Linn. This is THE KING OF ALL DRUM MACHINES!!! You know the specs, you know the history, and you know the reputation… now here’s your chance to own one! This particular machine is in FANTASTIC CONDITION… (a few super-small dings on the casing, but NOTHING major.) Pics don’t lie… judge for yourself. Only 1 owner. Hasn’t been passed around, hasn’t been sold and re-sold, hasn’t been on tour. 100% FULLY FUNCTIONAL. (Everything works… EVERYTHING!) Running O.S. 3.11. All pads have that classic ‘3000′ feel and are springy and responsive, all buttons are operative (and don’t need to be mashed in order to work!), floppy drive functions flawlessly, LCD screen is clean & clear (however, backlight is dimming), Note Variation slider is accurate, and Data Entry Wheel is tight and easily ready for another 50,000 turns… LOL. All outputs/inputs, SCSI, etc. on back panel are clean and functional. Again, this MPC in GREAT CONDITION… inside & out! These machines are highly-prized for their performance and durability. They won’t break-down like their more-recent, plastic counterparts. Built for a lifetime of work! Someone will be very very happy! Original manual and power cord included!” Link

This machine is in good condition & works 100%. The backlight is fairly bright for a machine of this age, stock floppy drive, max memory & power cord are included in the sale.

The right side rail is a tiny bit loose but it barely wiggles when you try to move it, otherwise it’s solid. ” Link

“Akai MPC-3000 Drum Machine, unit is fully working and has 3.11 OS but the backlight is out for the screen which is common. You can still use the screen just fine the way it is, it’s just very dim without a backlight on. Has some signs of wear here and there, is probably a 7.5 or 8/10 condition and it’s a solid unit. All the pads work, some of the buttons might require a little stiffer pushing but they all function fine.” Link

“Up for auction is a gently used Akai MPC3000. This unit works great but has a few minor cosmetic and functional issues. First, the back light is out and will need to be replaced. You can still adjust the contrast, but as far as I know, there are supposed to have fully backlit screens. Second, it appears that a few of the knobs have worked loose (see photo of me gently pushing the knobs over to show you what I am talking about) but appear to still work.

All in all this unit is in usable condition, but has seen some honest use and possibly some neglect. We cleaned it up well, but we think it came from a smoking home because of the discoloration. ” Link

“Akai Professional MPC 3000 Roger Linn
Das Gerät befindet sich in einem sehr gepflegtem (fast neuwertig anmutenden) Zustand.
Incl. Zubehör
- deutsche Bedienungsanleitung
- Stromkabel
- o.s. 3.11 Disc
- 100MB Zip Drive incl. passendem Scsi Kabel für Mpc 3000
- 4 lerre 100MB Zip Disketten lege ich noch bei

Das Display ist einwandfrei ablesbar. Speicher ist soweit ausgebaut, das sich 58,6 Sekunden Stereo und 117,2 Sekunden Mono aufnehmen lassen. Diskettenlaufwerk arbeitet ohne Probleme. Alle Ein- und Ausgänge am Gerät, wie Phono, Line in, Line out, etc. funktionieren perfekt. Fader und Datawheel sowie alles Tasten reagieren wie am ersten Tag. Lediglich die Down Taste (Pfeil nach unten)benötigt ein wenig mehr Druck. Ich habe noch eine kurzes Video gedreht, auf dem die technische Funktion des Gerätes sichtbar ist.

Das im Gerät verbaute os ist version 3.08. Im Lieferumfang ist aber auch die neuste Version 3.11 enthalten welche beim einschalten des Gerätes von Diskette in den Speicher geladen wird. Das geht sehr schnell und man kann die Diskette einfach immer im Laufwerk lassen, da zum speichern der Daten das Zip Drive genutzt wird.” Link

“This MPC is a master piece. It has every possible upgrade and function.

- The amazing Valixi 3.50 OS installed
- 32 mb memory
- Internal Microtech CF reader
- VGA output (allows you to attach a monitor to it)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the unit. All buttons are fully functional and scuffs are minor. It’s a beauty for its age. Back light and all other issues are non-existent. All of you know why we all love this machine so I will not stress what it can do. There’s not a better deal out there. I will include the original OS chips (3.14) and original floppy drive in case you need them. Installed is a CF reader and modified to keep the SCSI connection in the back to access older beats and transfer them to CF. It’s great for peace of mind, knowing that you will never again hear the click of death from a zip disk.” Link

Sounds like this needs some new tact switches. Easy and inexpensive repair if you can solder.

“Up for auction here is my beloved MP3000 starting with a very low reserve. Comes complete with PSU and manual.

This unit needs some attention from someone who can spend a little time with it as there are two known issues:

1. The Play/Record button are rather loose but still make contact. Sometimes more than one key press may be needed, but this can be solved by fully cleaning and adjusting the buttons internally for better a better response.

2. The soft key 1 button has been pushed in and now the connect switch for it is on permanent engage which causes the MPC to not start-up correctly. This can be fixed by disengaging the button press internally.

The MPC starts up and power comes on but due to this key being stuck the main screen does not come on. Instead all the lights come on and the LCD screen remains blank. I feel that someone with a little more time on their hands who is confident enough to look into the matter a little closer can bag themselves a real bargain here!” Link
