MPC Quality

Hi,
does the MPC's use endless potentiometers (like Maschine) or optical encoders ?
Do all Pots keep the same resistance (unlike Maschine) and are they still working without any parameterjumps over years of heany usage ?
Does Akai offer spare parts (unlike Native Instruments) ?
What is your experice ?

So does MPC Live one’s ^

How long do you have your MPC's what about the feel of the encoders ? Do they all still have the same resistance when tweaking ? Or do they feel different ?

They feel a lot better then othher encoders on other gear I have.

I own the MPC since its release well hmm I think it was released in June 17.. if that is correct I got mines the end of August.. anyway love the qlinks all the buttons all the encoders work great after all these years.... withsaying my MPC 2000 & 3000 still work good enough.. well built..

Thank you for teh reply, so do I understood that right, even after years of usage all qlinks still have teh same resistance when tweaking and work properly ?

Yes, still seem to have the original feel, even years later. I'm sure MPCstuff.com can arrange replacements if need be, nothing lasts forever

Had my unit for 3 years and the pots never gave me a problem. They all felt perfectly smooth and of equal resistance.
