Why the worst Data Wheel.

Does anyone else feel as if the mpc 2500 has the worst jog wheel of every mpc made? I f they fused the 2000xl wheel with the 2500 it would be perfect.
I knew when i first touched it that i was not going to like better, but all of the other features on this baby got me. I mean at the time it was mpc with the most features and i was just getting into midi and really wanted 4 midi outs and the design was perfect for me. Has anyone tried to switch out there wheel with another or does anyone know of anybody that could manufacture this? I have a couple close music mates that would also buy. I am no type of electronic engineer so i could not even think of where to begin.

No I think the 1000 has the worst one. That sh*t is weeble wobbly as a phuck!

Excuse me. I forgot the mpc 1000 has the same wheel. Well lets just say the 2500 and the 1000

No, I am pretty sure the 1000 has a different one. The one on the 5000 is the same as the 2500. I think the 1000 has the same one as the 500! Anyway, it seems fine to me and I have an XL too!

The 1000 and the 2500 do not have the same wheel.

I came from a MPC500 and I would have to say that the wheel on the MPC500 is the worst which is the same as the MPC1000 wheel. You have to click it around 2 and sometimes in the begining about 3 clicks before it gets going.

I think the wheel on the 2500 is perfectly fine. I find the design on it alot better than the others aswell.

I hate the wheel on the 2500. When i really get goin' on a beat i pound the fnck out of it... i always remember some dude on here sayin' that loud ass thing would wake his roommate up at night... thats funny shiit

Maybe thats why yours doesnt work properly?

im going to have to agree here,,the worst wheel is on the 2500,,it feels like rusty metal rubbing together,,and i think my fav wheel is on the 2000xl,,,i been doing some research on this and im going to figure out a way to get a better potentiometer in its place..anyone have a clue where i could get the service manual for the 2500??

My 2500 is the first mpc i ever had, but i have to agree, the wheel is kind of meh. I also sometimes need to turn it 2 or 3 clicks to actually change values or scroll through samples... especially in Load Mode.

Also true. those clicks are LOUD. I still haven't heard any complaints from my roommate, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he can't stand it anymore.

the 2000 Classic with it's outer-rim 2 part data wheel weighed in Heavy for great workflow. of ALL the physical changes mpc's have gone through, this is the one i miss the most and every single time i work on my 2500.

Thanks Im glad I am not the only one feeling that way and I only had my 1000 the blue one for two weeks before I got my princess. So that is why I thought the wheels were the same but I just wish they would have put the 2000 or 2000xl wheel on it. If anybody has any luck let me know I will pay double.

soon after i got my 2500 i asked VST Service if a 2000 wheel mod was available for the 2500 and they said they didn't do it which was quite discouraging. if this ever becomes an option i'll be on it in a snap.
