Looking to do a straight trade for one of the following options: maxxed Motif es6 and up or MO8, Fantom X6 and up (No Xa's please but Fantom S plus cash okay), Kurzweil 2500 and up. Will sell for $1700 SHIPPED. Buyer pays shipping and handling of $50 UPS GROUND.

MPC2500 includes:
100GB hard drive
2GB Compact Flash
Guitar Center extended warranty until 2008
Latest O/S
*Sorry no CDM-25*
In fact, plastic is still on the screen.

I have too much other gear that I use and the MPC just sits there. I think she deserves to be adopted.

Any takers?

Nope. No complaints about it. But right now my setup does what I need it to do. I just don't want my studio to be a gear museum because I feel no piece of gear should collect dust so I am offering the MPC2500 because it is the latest and greatest thing out right now.

Right now I am happy with the following setup:

Roland SP-606
Akai S5000
Kurweil K2000R
Novation ReMOTE 25

It's not an all in one solution but it works for me.

I have a lot of other gear but that's what I use most.

I have access to an MPC1000, MO8, Triton through various friends and colleagues that's why I'm leaning towards a Fantom.

I've only had it for 6 or 7 months but have not put in that much use on it as I wanted to. The thing is great especially with the new O/S upgrade.
