anybody NOT have problems with mpc1000?

Well topic says it, its either buy this or a mpc2000xl for me. Some of the problems I read about here are retarded. I guess they dont test this stuff for reliability at all. Or am I missing something? Thanks for responding to the dumbass noob!!! :D

No problems here, knock on wood. I filled the space between the pads and sensor board to fix the pad sensitivity issue, and I used deoxit to bring unresponsive buttons and q-links back to life.

i have mpc 1000 no problem im useing it as midi controller, sampler,drum machine song organizer. vocal rec soon.
and looking get custom made by akai hope :D

And i jus use the akai 2.11 os on it. had this machine for few yrs still works.

2000xl is great i was thinking bout buying go with my 1k..but downside is u wont get warnety unlsee buy from akai dealer
and wont get txt supprt sense it not currnet product line..

The 1000 is lot like 2000xl in some ways just less outputs.but dose do more and there replacment parts if u need them so i get dat one..than if u want 2000xl get it to go with your mpc 1000..

Yup. A very small amount, then work the switch like 10-20 times to get the lubrication in. Same for the q-links. Just spray a little bit, slide it back and forth 10-20 times, spray more if the slider still doesn't glide, and close it up! You may also wanna use compressed air to get any debris or dust out of the switches and sliders first.

I cut up little squares from an album cover (about the same size as the sensor on the board) and stuck them to the board with thin double-sided tape. Search around, there are other materials and ways of doing this. For example some here actually molded silicon to the underside of their pads, mpcstuff.com sell corx, etc.
