Has anyone seen these green glow in the dark pads on a black mpc1000? I think I saw a pic of a 2500 with the glow pads but I think it was the purple ones and it was light in the pic so u couldnt even see the glow lol. Also has anyone tried the thick pads? Do they feel the same or do they change the sensitivity? Is mpcstuff the only site for parts, what other sites are there?

Yeah there's a few threads here where people show and give opinions on the glow in the dark pads. The thick pads are dope, but outside of a 1000 or any the MPD series I don't see a point to them. I installed them in those 2 machines because it made a functional difference in sensitivity, in any other MPC it would be more of a cosmetic upgrade.

VST service and recently Renato Rizoli in France are the only MPC parts dealers I've found besides MPC Stuff. Unfortunately the shipping costs from France to the USA are insane.
