I am ready to switch out two of my tact switches on my MPC 1000, but I was wondering how do I Unsolder the current tact switch? I have my soldering iron and replacement tact switch and everything ready to go, but I am confused at what I am supposed to do. I have been watching videos and reading explaination, but most of them are on computer board parts. I would really like to know something more specific to the MPC. Can somebody who has done this before help me out? Some tips, instructions or advice? Thanks
