forat output boost and thicker pads?

how do the thicker pads feel on the mpc any better?


also what exactly is output boost that forat performs?

the output gives it an extra +6db to the stereo and 8 outs, its cool but not really needed, no one has the fat pads anymore. (can't be bought I mean)

i'm sure good olle bruce can be talked into it:-)

anyone btw have experience with a linn9000? i got a forat9000 and i think ti's got the "fat" pads it's **** thick the pad, massively so. i dunno i like the feel of the 3000's like crazy...

the linn 9000 has the fat pads as standard, they are just in deeper holes.

talked into what? they dont have those pads, I asked him about it. he said the only way he could get them is if enough people were interested he could make a mold, but that would cost him $5000, to make it sohe would prolly charge about $100 for the pads and hope that more than 50 people bought them or it would be a waist for him.

$250 he told me

yeah they are out of them pads.

god damn! cost is kida far up from the $16 ones. elmacaco, do you know where he got them from, cause i remember him saying they were is some old equipment.

they are probably from the 9000...

damn, no more of those raised pads? i was contemplating gettin mine done since my pads are chit right now...

imma have to look more into it when i get more time, its been hectic as of late...

They were made for the Linn Midi Studio which never went into production. once they were gone they were gone. at 200 or so a pop it took a while, and making more isn;t gonna be cheap.

damn i want a linn midi studio so bad:-) upgraded to f9000 specs ....

Yeah me too, but good luck.

I think there was only 3 prototypes made and they were basically just a 9000. A lot of the MPC 60 design came from it tho.

I think i remember talkin to forat bout it, he would've sold one but for a lott...

I seen a 3000 on the 'bay with the thick pads. Anyone know how their sensitivity is compared to the regular pads. Seems like they would be less responsive. Aight chill!

nah, they are the best. just like the Linn 9000. Best pads I've ever felt.
