Hi guys, newbie here. I just copped a 2000XL on Amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... ition=used

This page has a little more info on each item (though not a lot).
Don't worry about it having full RAM or not. That stuff is really cheap these days and you can upgrade it yourself.

Yeah, I'm aware of that page... the problem was that my specific mpc didn't have a description. It just said "used - very good". But it doesn't matter now, the seller has clarified what is included.

And yeah, I didn't know RAM was so cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O3 ... NM1NMUEAGQ

I'll wait for the MPC to get here before I buy more RAM though. The seller doesn't know how much is on it, for all I know it could already have upgraded memory

Thanks for the warm welcome StarOne! Yes, I am very excited. I kinda agree on the computer thing. After a while, things do start getting repetitive. Nothing kills creativity like repetitiveness and boredom

You got all that for $280? Sweet deal...

HOLY...

It's already here! I was expecting it to get here next week, but it's here!

When the seller said it was in very good condition, they meant very good condition!

It's practically brand new. Like someone took it out, used it once, and forgot about it. No scuffs, fading letters, nothing. The screen is flawless, the colors vibrant... Have I seduced you yet?

Here it is...

overview



front buttons



screen



pads





This next one caught my eye. Most 2000XLs I've seen on the web have the old akai logo... (pic off the web, not my MPC)



Mine, on the other hand, has the modern one. Hmm.




But, the best part is...







It has full blown memory!!

Not too shabby for an MPC virgin, eh?

I'm stoked.

Good score, nice and clean is what you want, and an MPC2000XL doesn't get any nicer or cleaner than that!

Damn Synesthezia… seeing your XL makes me regret selling mine last year.

Now THAT'S a good start! You'll have years of fun with it. The logo is different because these XLs were made around 2004 when the blue XLs came out... or at least somewhere between then and 2002, which was when the new logo appeared on the 4000.

Definitely! Ah, I figured the reason for the logo change was something like that.
