“AKAI MPC 3000 with Internal CF Reader, Memory Expansion and Vailixi Operating System

In fine condition. Purchased a few months ago for use in a non-smoking home studio.

Note that picture is not a stock photo but a recent picture of the actual unit.

All buttons/lights/inputs/outputs checked and working fine.The jog wheel is present but tends not to work a lot of the time. I have purchased a new jog wheel encoder and a simple soldering job should fix this. Additional encoder will be included with item in original packaging. Note that unit can still be used perfectly in the meantime (with buttons).

In very good condition. New backlight has been installed for a clear display. Screen has no missing pixels.

Black pads and sensors have been bought and professionally installed. All pads tested and work fine. Dust cover, printed manual and DVD of mpc 3000 tutorial included.

A new CF card reader has been bought, installed, and works perfectly. CF card will be provided with an assortment of professional drum and instrument sounds provided.

Finally, this unit has the (now difficult to get) Vailixi Operating system installed. This improves the features (you can edit samples while they play (!)), performance, adds compression and enables the mpc to format disks so that Windows can read them.

This is a full Music Production Studio. It can act as a sampler, sequencer, and synthesizer. It can control other instruments and with the 16 (new) pads, you can build entire songs/albums from this one unit with ease. Use filters to shape and change sounds as you wish.

A stunning bit of kit. Clean looking – with Vailixi O.S. and maxxed out memory. Its perfect as a backbone for a home or professional studio.” Link

“Bought this new a while back. Only took it out to install zip drive and upgrade the memory to 32 mb. Also has the vga output. Beat on the pads for no more than 20 minutes. So, its basically brand new.” Link

Also Should work with a S5000, S6000, MPC 3000 and MPC 60. ” Working perfect with akai S3000xl” Link

“THIS IS A GREAT PRE OWNED AKAI LIMITED EDITION MPC 3000 . WORKS GREAT. LOOK AT THE PICTURES TO SEE THE COSMETIC FLAWS. SOME OF THE BUTTONS LIKE THE PLAY BUTTON ETC HAVE SCRATCED OFF LETTERS FROM WEAR. DOES NOT EFFECT THE MACHINE. MEMORY IS MAXED OUT. HAS A FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLED BUT I CAN INCLUDE A EXTERNAL ZIP DRIVE. I DONT HAVE THE MANUALS BUT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT ON THE INTERNET. ITS A CLASSIC MACHINE..THE BEST SOUNDING OF ALL THE MPC SERIES. REAL GRITTY THICK SOUND.” Link

“I doubt you will see another one like this. It is absolutely beautiful. With oak wood trim.

Compact flash drive just makes at amazingly quick to load and save your work/samples with much more capacity. A floppy is about 1.4MB and a compact flash card has 750mb. What a huge difference.

Operating system 3.11.

Backlight super bright and buttons all work like new.

cosmetically mint. no scratches or wear on the chasis.” Link

Much cheaper alternative for backlights if you aren’t in a rush as these ship from China.

“For sale is a working MPC 3000 Limited Edition, serial #332.

This MPC 3000 Limited Edition features OS 3.11, maxed RAM, floppy disc drive, EXM-3002, working backlight and the extremely rare VGA output!

A machine like this is hard to find these days! As a matter of fact, the last MPC with the VGA option was a european model that went for $1500. I am bringing down the buy it now price to only $1430 because soft key 1 is loose and the note variation slider cap is missing. The slider cap is now discontinued, but you can find a similar fader cap meant to work for the Akai DPS series (VST Service in Pasadena, CA should have them available). ” Link

“Hey. For sale is my AKAI mpc 3000 LE in great condition. This is pretty much every upgrade you could want and is the ultimate 3000. I have only had the unit 3 months and have done quite a few upgrades to it, in mind for keeping it as my main machine. Unfortunately I have to let it go, which I am really upset about, but I need to free up some funds asap, and this is the only part of my studio I can sell. I do have another sampler that I will have to use to get me by.
Upgrades include.
Compact flash card reader, supplied by JD at scsiforcardreaders. Well known in the mpc circle for his dope readers.
32mb Maxed out Ram.
All tact swtiches to the main board replaced, around 50 of them with brand new ones.
Brand new backlight
VCT video expansion board which allows hookup to an external monitor (though only some monitors work)
Akai 3.14 OS, HOWEVER, I have ordered the Vailixi 3.50 OS from Rohan which is due to turn up any day now, If it arrives before the item sells I will install it, if not I will just forward it on to the winner. Anyone who knows about the 3000s knows how dope the 3.50 os is, and all the info can be found out here on this. www.mansell-labs.com. It is basically the akai operating system with loads of extra REALLY handy features added. Makes the 3k easier to work with.
Included with the item with be the original floppy drive, the original ram board and ram.” Link

“Includes original floppy disk drive, or at buyers request, I will install internal Compact Flash drive (w/ 4Gb CF Card). The CF Drive is brand new from scsi card readers-com (Drive plus install kit is a $200 value) … Please specify your preference at checkout. (some may want to preserve the MPC in its original state, so the drive is not installed yet.)

This item has been gently used – It was put on the shelf after only a handful of hours of use, and it’s time to find her a new home. I do not have the time anymore, and really never got started with it. Now I guess it deserves to be put to good use! If you can find a low-hours unit in this condition then grab it, because these are very rare!

Every button, slider, and knob works perfectly as it should, no issues there. LCD screen is not scratched except for some microscopic surface swirling that you can see if you strain but not enough to be captured in photo. Characteristic of an item like this, it does have minor dents, dings, & scrapes on casing / rails, but nothing that effects the performance or functionality in any way.

LCD is still original and is CLEAR AND BRIGHT as seen in pics, a rarity for these units – check around and you will see… ” Link

There is writing on the underside of the MPC from the previous owner, but that does not affect the performance of the device and can be easily removed with a solution
