has anyone tried the mpc-stuff padcorx on the 3k?

please share your experience...

Haven't tried them myself.


.

thanks!
seems they are fine on the 3k.
i read somewhere they are not recommendable for the 3k cause of double triggering...

...i think i will go for it...

Probably a good idea to take it apart and clean all the cr^p out from between the pads and the sensors before shelling out , and see if that helps.
I'ma gonna try that with mine soon.

beat me to it ^^^ I've heard mixed things on them and cleaning it up is free, so I'd try that first and spend the corx money on beer instead

haha word

small squares of electrical tape stuck on with rubber solution works really well....there is a tutorial on You Tube for doing it to a Akai MPD32.You can vary the amount of layers of tape depending on how responsive you want the pads to be...most people seem to go for 4.This is a really easy and cheap upgrade that works great,you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it earlier.

I tried them myself... Bad experience! Caused double triggering.
Better without them!

what causes double triggering exactly?
I am having that problem with my newly
aquired MPC3000LE that has no any corx
installed just stock pads and sensors that
are clean...??

what can cause the double triggering in my case?
I am so puzzled

Why would a MPC 60/3k or 2k need the retrofit?
The whole prblem comes from the change Akai made with those bad velocity curves on the Numark MPCs.
All the older MPC had not problems with velocity once you were accustom to the standard curve they used.
Unfortunately the Numark MPC's and controllers have a bad curve and curves that only make it worse.
They should have just stayed away from playing with that setting.
Some say the pads and sensors are different but the last 2kxl I had looked just like the 2500 when they were pulled down, so I'm not sure about that.

anyone who has been a MPC user from the early units should not want to modify their 60/3k/2k's pads.
they should already be giving you want the newer units are after.

Ive owned bunch of diff type of MPCs, and for some reason all the 3000's I've messed with have worse trigger response then my 60 or 2XL. Not sure why. This the same for anyone else?

my 60 pads been feeling like schit since the day i bought it...

The double triggering is just pad technique from what i can tell. I used to have my first MPC do the same thing for awhile but it never happens to me anymore. The pads are pretty sensitive so it doesn't take much for your finger to bounce a teensy bit if you dont follow thru and are light on the touch it can def re-fire the sample! If you hit dead center on the pads it seems to help. I don't mean this as criticism that you dont hit a MPC pads correctly (its silly really no wrong way to do it) but It is something i used to have happen alot and just went away as the trigger fingers got stronger LOL... Take it or leave it but I don't think anything is wrong with the MPC.

I also noticed some of the new MPC pads are of inferior quality than others. The stock grey pads on my 3000LE are way softer and more bouncy than the other Glow pads and black pads i have. They are all harder and don't seem to be as sensitive as i tried them all before going back to the originals. Again just my 2 cents.
