“AKAI MPC 1000 Sampler Drum Machine BK – Upgraded. Condition is “Used”.
Upgrades & Features:
– This unit has a 160 GB hard drive
– This unit has maxed out 128MB RAM installed
– This unit has upgraded AKAI pads (a single piece) with replaced sensors from the original. Unlike some other units I’ve seen, the pads are in excellent condition.
– This unit has the fully functional, paid JJOS 2XL 3.69 operating system (a $123 value) installed.
– Some assorted samples from my sample library are included as pictured.
– Power cable is included.
Cons (read carefully):
– This item is used and has some nicks/scratches and a small crack on one of the end caps (pictured).
– While all the buttons work, a few of them (F4, mode, cursor right, cursor down) are a little finicky and less responsive than ideal. If I were keeping this unit, replacing button sensors would be the next project.
– The zip disk drive does not work, though–as mentioned above–the 100GB hard drive pretty much makes the drive redundant anyways.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
