i just got my mpc1000 used.
the LCD looks dark... it doesn't have as much contrast as i've seen on brand news ones in guitar center. is there a way to adjust the contrast on the screen?

thanks!

Hold the shift key and rotate the data wheel.

rofl, you'll learn.

check out MPC-TUtor's guide to beatmaking on the MPC1000. there is a thread around here somewhere about it. People were definitely hyping it up!

That's funny. Happy to help - I can't remember if I read that. I was just thinking to myself, wouldn't it be cool if holding shift+turning data wheel scrolls through a sample quicker in trim mode? Sadly, it just made the screen go darker and brighter.
