VST Services MPC 1000 pad replacement kit

Seems they've changed the price for a single pad from $16 to $8?

cool

they must have been reading these boards and seen all the complaints of pads going dead.

lol

nothing against VST

but DO NOT BUY THESE PADS unless you need extras or the original ones are completely fukked beyond repair... the exact same thing will happen to you - these are not upgraded pads.

i'm buying 1 to replace a pad which i messed up with thermal grease back in the day, and the second i get it, i'm modding it.

Why not?? Catz better get these parts while they can. Eventually, the pads will break down. Having back ups will not hurt one bit.

Better yet...MPC 1000 users should pick up the MPD16 or a trigger finger. They are just a little bit more than these replacement pads. You will protect your MPC 1000 from breaking down and you will have better pads at the same time.

Yup...that is the best move.

yeah i didnt mean boycott vst at all, they're a cool company and i respect em, but buying replacement pads isn't gonna do anything but give you another 3 or so weeks of full servies.

i'd like to have a couple extras myself, but replacing your broke down pads with vst pads won't save your ass...it'll only delay your pain.

fix your "broken" pads, but buy some extras anyway just to have. who knows how long the vst deal will last?

save yourself 60 years and go kill yourself now.

i've thought about it.

remove a fear of afterlife/judgement and suicide loses most of its negativity.

but...uh...wait, what?

it is REALLY nice of them to bring the price down to 8 bucks for individual pads, though - again, i have absolutely no issue with vst. my problem is with akai's design.

nevermind yo haha the goddamn shipping is like 10 bucks for 1 pad...wtf

That's why you should buy an entire set

no need...i only have 1 pad that's messed up beyond repair. buying 16 new pads would essentially mean buying 64 dots of glue which will break again...

word. every time i need parts, no matter how small the size, always hit me up with high shipping cost.

OK..just forget it. MPC 1000 users should just go out and buy an MPD 16 which will solve all their problems.
