Akai MPC 2000 with 32MB RAM

“Good condition, working MPC 2000.
Pads responsive
LCD in pristine condition
MIDI works
Stereo works
It all works (only mentioning this because there are so many of these on reverb/eBay with various issues)

Recently serviced with upgrades installed.
Cleaned, dusted, etc. recently (inside and out)
Power cord included

Upgrades:
The floppy drive has been replaced with a USB drive (1,000x the storage).
Maxed out RAM (32 MB, allows more samples to chop up real-time)

This is far more than a drum pad/sampler/sequencer, you can essentially program your entire setup through this thing if you want.

There are myriad reasons this is a truly impressive piece of gear, but my personal favorite is the option to NOT quantize triggers/beats/sequences. This really adds a lot to the music (there are loads of YouTube videos showing how this has been used for decades to bring life to beats).

Sold as is, no returns, only due to the age. But, again, this is a functional unit as shown in pictures.

Missing slider cap. Does not affect use.
Some scuffs/dents on the corners as shown in the pictures, also don’t affect use.
Note: USB is not included. I recommend just getting a 2 or 4 GB (probably no need for more space than that).” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
