Akai MPC 1000

“Someone gave me this unit as part ex for a synth, to be honest I don’t know the first thing about how to use it, it seems to boot up fine (JJOS version) and I get some sounds but some buttons need an extra press, and there aren’t sounds across all pads, to be honest I think it just needs a clean of some contacts and either a reset or new OS loading, but could be entirely user error! Has a small scuff on the top (see pic 5) but included are 3 adhesive skins (one LinnDrum style!) if you wish to pimp it a bit. The black fat pads (marked ‘MPC Stuff’ from the US) already make it look better than standard (it’s the ‘BK’ version so has the newer sensors I believe, well it must do to have the fat pads!), but the original grey pads are included too, as is a 32gb memory card, plus a UK power lead. Screen is nice and bright, ends are undamaged, everything is clean and compete, all in all a nice little project for someone, sold as seen. The box is bit tatty from storage but is complete with the polystyrene inners, no manual I’m afraid but freely downloadable online.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
