I'll be looking at the older blue MPC today and the owner claims to have not used it much, and also claims all the pads work properly. How can I test sensitivity/velocity?

Oh, and the fun part is he only has a MIDI keyboard so I can't record samples with record/cd player(if that makes it any harder). ???

1. THey should be very sensitive to the touch. Go to the pad sensitivity screen (this is in JJOS, I forgot if its there in the AKAI OS).

2. THis one is a no brainer man ... Bring your IPOD/mp3 player, phone (if it plays mp3s), discman, tape player, etc and a 1/16 jack adapter to test the sampling capabilities.
