MPC1000 - Non Akai RAM - Tested and working!


For those of you who've purchased an Akai MPC1000, but then waited to upgrade the ram because of Akai's ridiculous price on the 128 mb stick ($110-140.00!!!!!)...there's an option!

I picked this up yesterday ran the memory tests in the MPC (hold down PLAY when powering it up) and it passed all 4 runs. This workaround means you are only getting half of the chips working, but it's a lot cheaper than what akai is trying to fetch for the chip (their's states 256mb as well when you only get 128).

compusa $74.99

PNY Technologies 256MB133

configurator part# N256S133Z


24min 27 sec mono /12 min 13 sec stereo.. hell yeah, it's nearly limitless since perc. sounds take such little time.
