I have been wanting a blue MFC to match my 4K, but AKAI never released them in blue. And Pound is right. I don't want to part with my MFC either. :wink:

Of course they did, I seen them sell in shops...unless they advertised a blue and actually shipped a grey one.

What is really hard to get is an orange one...

I run my TT thru it, when I am using synth sounds I run them thru it to fatten them up. I run the motif thru it mono for bass. When I want to DESTROY some audio I crank the cutoff and resonance...man theres a bunch of uses. Its also REAL dope for getting the low end out of a sample....

I filter some cheesy keygroup sounds, add the phase shifter, adjust the speed & depth to give it that give it that Fender Rhodes, wide/swirl sound.

I talked with one of the guys that use to work with AKAI back in the day, he said "as far as I know they were never released in the Blue color."

I've only seen once the orange one somewhere in the pics of your cribs thread, I think. I've never seen in reality a blue one. However, if you really want one that bad, cop a normal one of ebay (they're not that scarce) and send it over to Forat, :lol:

The sound you get from the mfc42 is anything but polite... one wrong move and it screams like a ****! It's a good adition to the MP though.

I turned the Resonance knob all the way by mistake one time. OUCH!!!! My ear was ringing for a minute.

BTW, why is this thread in the 2K/2KXL section?
