Got my MPC Live 2 yesterday and have noticed that the unit does not sit flat on my desk, there is a noticeable wobble when the bottom left of top right is pressed, meaning when using pads 1-8 the whole thing makes a booming noise as it hits my desk.

Just wanting to know if others have the same? I'll be looking to get a stand for it once ones are available to prop it up anyways, but for €1200 is expect more :lol:

Does your Live 2 have all Four Rubber Feet underneath?

Are all the Bottom Plate Screw tightened and Flush to the Sides?

I've had a few tabletop drum machines, synths etc that came this way from the factory.. it's no big deal. Lay it at the edge of a sturdy table, so that the edge of the table is intersecting the opposite corners, in your case top left to bottom right. The bottom left half of the MPC will be off of the table. Don't let your MPC fall off the table! then GENTLY press down on the offending corners (bottom left & top right). Test and repeat if needed. Sometimes it takes a couple tries, but this has always worked for me.
