Looks pretty sweet....... how did you do it???

nice picture, you look like raiden from mortal combat

DC SHOES!!

yo man, nice mpc, my only gripe is you cant see the letters or menus that were written above and beside the pads, as well as any of the other buttons.

no big deal if you know your way around yoru mpc though, but still.

nice colour though, takign it back before akai got this blue era ish in there heads.

yeah, well I was horified by the original 1k colours (purple colours on the cursorbuttons? are the crazy!?) so I'm really delighted that it's more classic now. Youre right about the buttons but I didn't really needed it anymore!

Now that's the way an MPC should look. Alot more professional looking. I wish Akai just stuck with their original colors for the MPCs (2000, 4000)because they actually looked like professional studio equipment. Today's blue MPC's are toyish looking. I also wish they made the MPC1000 white too.

Come on Akai!!! People don't pay this kind of money for something that looks like a Fisher Price baby toy!!!!

Yeh! how did you do that sh*t?, Im a signwriter so i should know about all that stuff but im too scared to get paint in the buttons. There must have been some crazy masking going on.
and by the way what the f**k is that on your head.......
Only joking!
