They are glow in the dark (which means blacklight too). They are spotted light yellow and white (the glow part) though, they don't look like that solid dark yellow in the photochop. Probably would be an eyesore on all that black, but the red one might be doable. With the spots I think it looks like a cow in the light. Black pads get super dirty, but I still like that black on black look for sure.

Glow in the dark white pads, with glow in the dark white text for the lettering of the case, so it matches the white backlit screen on my 4k.

They do look decent in the picture, but as I mentioned, the pads don't look like that at all. Just something to keep in mind. Search for a picture of an MPC2000XL SE1 and you'll see them.

VST put the pad picture back on the site. The pads look patterned those on the orange 2000XL SE.

It was quite a BYTCH taking the 2500 apart---took me back to my MPC 2000 days. The metal top on it is like a flucking sarcofagus that hasn't been opened in 2000 years. None the less it was worth it. My hard drive should be here tomorrow it'll be GOODBYE CF CARD! I'm glad my studio is finally flucking completed.



cant wait to see it
