I think my MPC might be slightly broken?

So my father dropped my MPC1000 when I was moving into a new house and I think it is kind of broken. By this I mean when running JJOS2 on it, I notice when I hit certain pads, that when I hit them, it is followed by another hit after (usually the velocity is recorded as either 1 or 2 in this secondary hit?) this is rather annoying. Sometimes it does not even record properly as it will either miss hits or the velocity will record low even though it sounds high on the speakers. Where can I fix this? Can my local music store fix this? I have only started using the MPC properly and I really want to fix it because I cannot wait to use it to it's full potential. Thanks. Certain buttons also need to be pressed hard to activate such as MODE and MAIN. This is rather annoying. How much would I expect to pay for such damages to be fixed? Thank you.

If i were you i'd slaughter my father in cold blood for disrespecting your MPC

I'll never forget it. Cold-blooded dad.

You might want to open it up and see if anything has been knocked loose at all.

Buttons are very easy to sort out yourself if you can solder. You don't replace the whole button itself, just the part underneath it called a "tact switch".

First and foremost have a look inside, make sure none of the PCBs have cracked on impact perhaps? I'm not sure.

I'm not much of a handy man, I would rather leave that to the experts. Any advice on where to find where I can get it looked at?

....so where are you?


a local dealer is best choice here....every pro shop can send it to the service for you...
doin' that on your own is your own risk....if they do it, you can be sure you'll get it back on that desk where you left it....

but, if you won't fix that on your own and you don't have any friend who knows what he's doing when it comes to gear,....

i must tell you, the service will cost you at least 80 bucks just to open and check it...

and in worst case, chip or socket desaster, it goes up to 500.....
but in this case you can also check for another one...

Yep...if you can use a screwdriver, you can take a look inside. The process for looking "under the hood" on a 1000 is pretty staightforward. I'd personally take a look and check for anything obvious. There are clips on youtube showing how to get in there.


Just don't lose the screws.

Hey!

If you haven't ever replaced/upgraded the pads, then maybe this is just their natural swan song and you're only seeming to notice post-ground smash.

to fix the double triggering, go into menu 10 and set the default pad pressure or wtv it is to 20

set it to 20

(max)

fixed it for me.
