I know Forat is out last I checked, my bottom pads are prety worn, soon I will flip them internally, but I want a new set so I can wear them out again in comfort ;)

Anybody have any ideas?

Don't know if there's a difference between the 2kxl and 3k pads but that place probably got 'em either way.

Thanks,

Yeah, I have used them before and thought of calling them right after posting. Nothing 2000 will ever go on my 60!! Nothing!!! ;)

but hopefully they got what I need, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

The MPC3000, MPC2000 and MPC2000XL use the same pad assembly so I suspect the 60 does also. You may not have choice but to put a MPC2000 part in it.

The MPC2000 owners didn't complain when they put MPC60 and MPC3000 parts in the MPC2000. hehe.

vst... they even have different colors to add a little character to your mpc..

Just ordered it from vst today. Same color, I like the 60 as is.

All the pads are the same according to them so I guess it counts as a 60 part.

any 2000 owner would be lucky to have more 60 parts on the 2000!! The thicker metal. the armrest, the flip up, big ass screen!!!

yes I'm gloating ;)

"All the pads are the same, blah blah..., so I guess it counts as all MPC's part :lol: !!!

By elmacaco Tue Oct 19, 2004 3:42 pm
probably different on the 4000 and 1000, but if it first appeared on the 60...

dont toy with me guys, :evil:

"The thicker metal. the armrest, the flip up, big **** screen!!!"

Is this supposed to make the music sound better? Reminds me of the "wooden-side-panels-on-analog-synths threads years ago". ;)

No it's not meant to make the music sound better, it makes the experience of using the machine a bit nicer.

I have some analog synths with wood side panels, I can't say I'd miss them if they were woodless, but still, I'm big on the man machine interface, I don't really care if the end listener can tell the difference or not, but the process of making music is why I prefer knobby synths and great UI's.

I know you got a waldorf something in that midicase so I know you feel me.

what colors do they offer the pads in?

By elmacaco Fri Oct 22, 2004 1:38 am
Black and gray.

I was at that VST shop last week, picked up a few goodies :-) anyways they have all kinds of stuff in there and the receptionist girl is a cutie!
E-mail Don or David if you need anything, those guys are cool people.

I got them last night and replaced the pads today. Not a big difference but an improvement, well worth the $25.
