“I have a rare Akai MPC 60II Sampler in good condition great for making beats. This is in good used condition. Everything works, it’s just missing the hihat decay knob, but it still works perfectly.” Link

“This listing is for an Akai MPC-60 II vintage sampler with a new backlight (OS 2.12 / 1.5mb sample RAM / 391K sequence memory). The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. ” Link

“Akai MPC60II in excellent physical and working condition. Vivid blue backlight, 2.12 OS, 26 sec. sample time (max sample time).

Clean bill of health. Recent button service to ensure full functionality. ” Link

Looks like the seller is including a Compact Flash reader and IDE-to-SCSI bridge adapter.

“Das Gerät hat die letzte Softwareversion (praktisch nicht mehr zu bekommen),
SCSI-Anschluß und volle 2 MB Speicher (26 Sek. Samplingzeit).

Die nagelneue 1 MB Erweiterung habe ich erst kürzlich in England erworben (s. Bild 7)
Diese wird natürlich vor dem Versand noch eingebaut.

Die MPC hat eine neue LED-Folie für das Display bekommen, es leuchtet daher wie am ersten Tag.

Das Diskettenlaufwerk hatte ich ausgebaut (s. Bilder), um einen CF Card reader einzubauen.
Dazu bin ich aber bisher nie gekommen und die MPC muss aus Platzgründen und Gründen meines Workflows
sowieso weichen.
Das Laufwerk kann man sich jederzeit wieder einbauen oder aber das CF-Projekt, das ich begonnen habe
zu Ende führen (Selbstverständlich kann man auch nur den SCSI-Anschluß verwenden für ZIPs oder externe HDs):
Dazu liefere ich einen IDE Kartenleser und einen SCSI zu IDE-Adapter mit.
Dieser Adapter ist erwiesenermassen kompatibel mit der MPC (lässt sich in diversen Foren nachlesen).

Es sollte also kein Problem sein, den Cardreader zum Laufen zu bekommen, man braucht lediglich SCSI-Adapterkabel
und etwas handwerkliches Geschick oder man bestellt gleich bei SCSI4samplers oder MPC.com einen SCSI-Kartenleser…

Der äußere Zustand ist nicht mehr perfekt, wie man auf den Bildern erkennen kann und der Play-Knopf wackelt etwas,
funktioniert aber einwandfrei.
Insgesamt funktioniert die MPC fehlerfrei.

Es handelt sich um ein amerikanisches Gerät, welches AUSSCHLIESSLICH MIT 110V FUNKTIONIERT.
Ich hatte mir damals ein Netzteil gebaut, welches ich gern mitliefern kann.” Link

“Mpc 60 mkii in very good condition but with some noticeable signs of wear – scratches on front panel. but overall good for its age, has not got the usual face rash (rust) most 60′s end up with over the years. Brand new backlight which should last another 20 years ($160) os 2.12 is missing some screws and faceplate on floppy but this is just cosmetic and can be replaced if it bothers you. Output one is cracked but the part is carried at jaycar and is an easy diy job that should only cost about $5 to do. Other then that it’s in good shape as I said aside from some scratches on front panel. 120v so it has to be stepped down. ” Link

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

“Akai MPC60 mk2

Good condition for it’s age with new back light, expanded ram and 10 or so sample discs from midi mark.

Unit is 110v so transformer is required.

Good luck!” Link

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

“Unused (New) EL lamp.

Lighting area (dimension): 12.7 cm (5″) x 3.4 cm (1.35″).

Runs on by power inverter or similar device. (See also the inverter we’re selling on ebay!)

Light is GREEN (slightly blue, see picture below).

In light green when not glowing.

Can be bent or cut in any shape.” Link

“This is an Akai professional MPC60 II Rodgerlinn Integrated midi sequencer and drum sampler in great working condition. The unit has a couple of very minor scratches here and there, which won’t effect the sound and playing. The unit is very clean and 100% working condition. It comes with the power cord. ” Link

“For auction is a used MPC60/MPC60II SCSI expansion upgrade. These upgrades are no longer in production and very rare. Allows you to add zip drives, CF drives, or hard drives to your MPC. Comes with necessary spacers and cables. Instructions for installation can be found at rogerlinndesign (dot) com you must have OS 3.10 to install the upgrade. ” Link

“Akai MPC 60 MK II

This is a relist due to a previous bidder dropping out. It’s a classic machine and will be missed but time space and money force the sale. This particular model is the japanese model, however it comes with the correct stepdown transformer and I will also include 30 DD floppy disks. It has the full memory expansion of 1536kb allowing 26.2 secs of sampling time to play with. This doesn’t sound a lot but its plenty! The thing sounds amazing especially when sampling vinyl and the swing is incredible.

The display is very bright, I replaced the foil in it last year and its still as bright as ever now. All the outputs work fine, I’ve been running it through my mixing desk without any problems, the pads are still responsive and the buttons work nicely and have no fading or wear, I’ve been running synths into it with midi so all the midi in’s and outs work perfectly and the headphone output is still working, something the MK 1 doesn’t feature and is a big plus!

As for the condition of the unit, its over 20 years old so it has the usual wear and tear of a vintage piece of equipment. The plastic/metal has discoloured with age giving it more of a beige look. Theres wear and tear on the data knob, as found with most MPC 60′s, there’s also a crack on the plastic covering the display, this doesnt affect operation or hinder the display in anyway, its still perfectly visible. These are the only down points with the MPC but it still works perfect and has been in the centre of my setup for a while now, they really are built to last.” Link

“The unit is 100% functional and in excellent cosmetic condition as well. Includes original Manual and over 30 programs and samples including those from MidiMark and Roger Linn ” Link

“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

“Everything is working perfectly, the pads are very sensitive, the floppy drive is fine and the machine is ready to start creating music. The machine is in very good condition and works perfectly. Package includes some original drum sound library + 1 disk drive cleaner. THIS MPC IS IN MINT CONDITION NOT A SCRATCH ON IT. Machine has been in an none smoking environment. Also included are some starter sounds, plus Midi Disc. The Midi disc converts programs and sequence into midi readable for computer programs. ” Link

“Up for bidding is the Akai EXM003 / 750KB Memory Expansion for the Akai MPC 60 / MPC60II. THIS ITEM IS BRAND NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN INSTALLED. This board increases the MPC60 sample RAM from 13.1 to 26.2 seconds. The piece of tape is just to keep the screw in place so it’s not lost during shipping” Link

“. This drum machine is in working order … See pictures for cosmetic conditions . No Manual … Come with power cord .” Link
