Super sorry to repost but this heating issue is out of hand

frick i hate the fact to feel my mpc getting suppppper hot. after like an hour of use . i know it was posted before but did anyone have any problems as a result of using their mpc for more than 2 or 3 hours ? sorry that post was like a few months ago. i wanted to see if anything changed..

yeah, mine gets hot, too.


what makes it even more weird is that sometimes it just gets warm, even after a couple of hours in use.

and then sometimes it really gets hot, but I'm still not that worried - maybe a mistake of mine?

I don't know.

thats just how it is mate. i leave mine on for HOURS! sometimes days, its still ok, though i dont suggest u leave it on for days, just be kool with it.

word man thanks i mean shoot i get nervous because man these pieces of equipment arent cheap . but oh well

Its just like using any electrical equipment though isnt it .I Havent ever had probs with serious heat ... warmness yes.I shouldnt worry to much

Thats odd. i mean mine gets warm, but i could I have it on my for a couple of hours in my lap, and its not bad. hmmmm interesting.

i never really noticed it

same with the asr..everybody has issues with that piece getting really hot but mine never doo..

maybe a stupid sugestion but if you overdrive the inputs does this not make it get hotter ??

i find my make mixer sometimes get super hot but then im driving it hard ,, or maybe its just my imagination

as well of course a room with little ventilation and high tempretures will affect this as well

also the question is has anyone blown the pwr supply of their MPC due it being one for days on end

i've noticed that it gets much warmer when i'm recording. maybe its the sampling engine? whenever i'm just sequencing or playing its cooler.

Mine gets hot enough to fry an egg on the top right ASR10 logo. But it never stopped working because of heat.

its electonics is going to get hot. I mean if its hot to where you will burn yourself, then thats a problem, but just normal hott is something complety different. and if your that worried start keeping your gear in a cooler place. I usually work in a space that is very cold and even now in the summer I have to have a jacket and sweater and watch cap inside. But that is the only way to keep the gear cool.

oops, i must have missed that.

the smart thing to do is go buy a little fan, like $5 from walmart, a dedicated fan for only the mpc. Keep it right next to it, pointed at it, and only use it for that.

Should cool it off plenty for you.
