Akai MPC 60II

Friday Oct 14, 2011

“AKAI MPC-60 MK II Works perfectly with fairly new backlight.

Here we have the legendry Roger Lynn Akai MPC-60 with its superbly tight sequencer, one of the finest sequencers ever built with rock tight solid house dance sequencing capabilities used by some of the top producers including Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Also used by Teener Turner’s producer who incidentally I met at an exhibition. He was pretty cool.

This example works perfectly and the backlight is relatively new and consequently very bright and clear. This thing sounds marvellous with its onboard sampler and velocity sensitive drum pads all of which work well. The easy tape style transport controls make it easy and fun to use with intuitive locate functions and of course help screens for every screen and menu in the entire system. This has 26 seconds of sample time which is more than ample for drum sampling and one of my favourite features is the button which you hold down while in quantize mode which causes either drums or notes in your sequence to repeat while held down causing great kind of 80s cheesy effects.

The down sides to this are that while cosmetically it is really good in terms of few scratches and nice looking, the print as you can see from the photos is faded quite badly on many of the buttons. Screen printers could sort this out for you if you are really bothered. The other down side which is merely a practical thing rather than sonic is that this is the u.s. voltage version. Don’t let this put you off. There is an appropriate step down transformer to make it work in Europe and UK and sonically there is no compromise. Some theorists reckon the sonic quality is spoiled but we have tested it with both our ears and an oscilloscope and neither show any compromise in the sonic quality and the performance is robust and excellent as you’d expect. There is no mains hum or mains noise at all and the step down in the outer room is not audible easily.” Link

“Akai MPC 60 MK II (os 2.12)

If your reading this listing then I don’t think I need to give it a massive introduction. It’s a fantastic machine and I will be sad to see it leave, The sound of it is amazing and the sequencer is excellent, incredible swing! Limited space and not enough time to use it is forcing the sale. I can see myself buying one in the future when funds allow.

It is an old machine so its not in the greatest of condition, but it functions perfectly. I changed the backlight last year and it is still very bright, It’s running on OS 2.12. There’s a crack across the screen, its only the plastic and not the screen itself so doesnt affect operation at all, its a shame, because otherwise this unit would be in pretty good condition, I’ve tried to bring it up in the photographs but the camera I used wasn’t very good. The pads are responsive and still pretty good. I will include 20-30 DD Floppy disks with it preformatted ready to use with the MPC.” Link

Akai MPC 60II with Expanded Memory, OS3.10

Thursday Sep 1, 2011

“You are bidding on an Akai MPC-60 Mk 2 drum machine / sequencer. I have recently bought this MPC but do not have the time to use it. It was recently serviced by the previous owner and has had a new backlight display, new super sensitive thick drum pads and some new stop, play and play start buttons installed. It has the most recent version 3.10 ROM software chips installed and has the maximum 26.2 seconds of sampling memory. It also comes with a 10 floppy disk sound library from Midi Mark Productions. I have loaded all of the disks from the internal floppy drive and have played the sounds back ok. Although I have hardly used this MPC it seems to be working absolutely fine. I have not been able to check all of the individual outputs and midi in and outs but I presume they are ok. There are a few scratches here and there as you would expect with a machine from 1991. ” Link

Akai MPC 60II with Expanded Memory, SCSI

Saturday Aug 6, 2011

“Up for auction is this Akai MPC 60MKII with SCSI and extended memory to 26.2 seconds of sample time. This item is in good cosmetic condition, normal wear and some light scratches, etc. This item has been in my personal studio area, no smoking. Mechanically, it is in great shape. Everything is in perfect working condition. No loose knobs or wobbly buttons, Floppy drive works perfect. Everything works like it should. The screen is in good shape and readable, which is better then most 60’s sold on Ebay! I wanted to keep it as a backup (I already have the MPC 3000 and MPC 2000), so now I need the money more, my loss is your gain. I’d rather have someone putting it to good use than keeping it stored in the shelf.” Link

“Selling An Akai Mpc 60ii Vintage 12 Bit Sampler Fully Upgraded With An Internal Compact Flash Card Reader, OS 3.10e Roger Linn OS Basically The Same Os As The Mpc 3000, Scsi Board For External Storage, Brand New Bright Backlight, Also Included Is The Ac Adapter, A 2Gb Compact Flash Card, The Original Floppy Drive, And An External Scsi 100Mb Zip Drive With A Few Zip Discs.
With All That Said The Machine Is Not Perfect It Has A Few Cosmetic Blemishes Such As Scratches And A Ding Or Two Also The Volume Pot Tends To Be A Bit Scratchy And The Headphone Port Can Be As Well, But The Machine Is A Vintage Item And If Inclined Those Repairs Should Not Cost Much.

“Akai MPC 60 II with 2.12 OS

Cosmetic Condition: Average. The unit definitely shows some wear and tear, but nothing unusual for its age.

Functional Condition: Excellent. 99% functional. The only issue is with inserting/ejecting a floppy. The eject button cap is missing. This just means that you use a pen or something like that to push eject. Trust me, it makes no functional difference and causes zero inconvenience/inoperability.” Link

“I am selling my used Akai MPC-60ii. I am selling it because I am need of the money, but am very sad to see it go.

It is in perfect working condition, with only minor cosmetic wear. I purchased it last year from a store in America, that had only just replaced the back-light and drum pads. It is in superb working order. The two jog wheels are a little loose (but completely usable) and the hihat-decay slider is a little rough to push up and down (but again, completely usable). It has been updated to the Roger Linn OS 3.10, which enables stereo link up and a range of updated features, that make it’s usability equal to that of the MPC-3000. If you are looking to buy a vintage Akai sampler, you should go no further than this rare, amazing condition unit.” Link

“Ive got an akai mpc 60 ii with os 2.12 no scsi, in great condition for sale, all the buttons work great, all the pads work great the screen lights up fine, no dead pixels, the only button missing is the slider knob which most are, you can easily get one on here for like 20 bucks. Besides that sometimes the mix out wouldn’t work but I’ve been using an old cord, when I plug it into the other stereo outs it works fine or the headphone jack out. I’ve had this for years and the swing on this thing is crazy tight and the sound! I sold my 2500 and kept this instead years ago, but just had a kid and don’t have time for it.” Link

“For sale is a vintage Akai/Roger Linn MPC 60 II. I purchased it at a local shop here in Chicago. If you’re looking at this you already know the features so i won’t list them here. Unit is stock with v2.12 and floppy drive. Case is clean with a few minor scuffs on the right corner of the unit and data wheel. Only messed around with it enough to sample a few simple kits and make some sequences. Unit sounds GREAT and all the pads, knobs, and buttons work perfectly as well as the floppy drive. Classic 12-bit sound with drums that kick! Selling because I want something more all in one and portable” Link
