Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000
By helloitsmeagain Mon May 18, 2015 2:59 am
My back button to next to the encoder wheel is woking like only 5% of the time. It's killing me.

What's worse is there don't seem any replacement components out there. I don't wanna have to buy a whole other MPC to rip apart. Hell, I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. In the service manual it seems to be part number BA-L4016A504A (PC JOG BLK). Is that the whole component or just the pot?

I'm thinking I might just go the route of a USB keyboard... Anything I should know on that front? I read not all keyboards work. What should I be looking out for?
