my first posted beat, just a sketch, with me accidently knocking my turntable 2/3s of the way thro. def sketchy, but this is wat ive accomplished today amongst constant mpc crashing, hopegully once its fixed i can actually do something decent wiv it, anyways

if it's "leaking" that means you've blown up a capacitor somehow, either from too high a voltage, bad luck, or overheating.
Shouldn't cost too much to repair imho.
