Pad Upgrade question

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know a couple of things about the upgrade.

Firstly, are they available from anywhere in the uk?

Secondly, whats the difference, is there much of an advantage to them?

I have mpc1000 black (bk)

Cheers

how old is your mpc.. smost of the bk models already have the pad upgrade..

not sure, i bought it on ebay about two weeks ago, guessing it's a few years old. if it helps i think i can feel sensors in each corner of each pad. (like a small clickish feel)

I know it's not the model number with the N at the end

i have a bk model with new pads.. try to move the right corner of pad 4 and if pad 8 moves than you have the new pads..

thanks i'll check it out when i get home.

Does that mean if it has the new pads that i can get these?

ok no movement from other pads when one is moved,
so what are the pros and cons for the pad upgrade?

Pros = durability, life expectancy, sensativity, playability, customization (colors)

Cons = price, price, and price oh and some say they are over-sensitive

unfortunately i think no one sells them in europe. i hope i'm wrong but i haven't found a place that sells them except for mpc stuff and vst.

thanks for all your help guys, will have to save some money and go for it!!!
