Hi!
So, I got a MPD32 as a partial payment for some old synth and while it's fun to work with it in Live9... There's a lot of clicking and typing and it gets annoying fast. So I figured I'd sell it and invest in a MPC... Unfortunately, I never used one and I come into the scene at the same moment they cease to exist.
Anyway, so I found a 5k with a "dim" backlight for 500$USD - so another 180$ to fix it... Still an OK deal. I only wanna sample with it directly from my TT, don't really care for extensive programming and ext. Midi... Simply want a reliable machine with cheap and easy to source parts/mods. It sems the 5k has a good (not excellent) track record as to how reliable the HARDWARE is.
All in all, 50$ more than a 2kXL and 300$ less than the 2500s I can find. About same price as maxed 1ks...
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
