“Akai MPC1000 in Black with 128Mb official Memory card and JJOS 3.16(operating system) installed.
Its in Good condition, it had a little touring action many years ago, but nothing stressful, especially by MPC standards.
A few scratches on the front panel where the memory card slots is, the top plate is all good, screen has no scratches. (please study the pics)
I removed the top and gave it all a good blow with compressed air and wiped down the pads.
From powering it up for the first time in a few years it auto-loaded from the card. I sampled , sliced and put together a beat, assigned the sliders to filter and it all ran smoothly with that nice MPC heavy sound
The down select button is a little stiff but it gets there on 2nd/3rd push, its really not a problem and was working much better after a few minutes using it.
No box , no Manual just the kettle lead and memory card.
I forgot how strong that MPC sound and swing is. nice loud sample input and that sequencer is second to none. Im using Maschine nowadays, and it doesn’t come close. However there is no room for more kit in studio so it has to go.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
