Just got a used MPC1000 are the pad sensors faulty?

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a MPC1000 from ebay and
noticed that most of the pads are not that sensitive i.e you have to really hit them hard to get
them to register on the pad assign screen whilst on other pads they respond with a lighter tap.

I know that the 1000 uses a different pad sensor system compared to the 2000xl so could this be the reason for the stiff pads or are they worn out on my mpc1000.

Also the mpc looks like it has seen a fair bit of use in the past.

Any assistance would be much appreciated on this matter as I don't have much knowledge on the mpc1000.


Thanks.

I just figured out why...

Did you manage to get one with the new pads?
