The Apache 2800 case works great for the MPC Sample! It's sold at Harbor Freight for $29.99.

I also modded an original Gameboy magnifying screen protector to fit on the MPC Sample.

I hand sanded down the curved bottom of the screen protector (using a 100 grit sand paper). Then I added small round clear adhesive pads to the under side of the screen protector.

Overall, I'm LOVING the simplified, easy to use workflow of the Sample!! I bought it on a whim, thinking I would just sell it if I didn't like it. Now I find myself using it WAY more than my Live 3!! Its just plain FUN to use!!!

I got the black version of the Geekria case. Fit’s perfect.

I had a case ordered and 512GB card with my MPC Sample from Sweetwater, but that case is way too big. Now that I have the Geekria, the case I got from Sweetwater fits the Geekria case in it, plus my cables, and I can fit my Audiothingies MicroMonsta 2, Behringer Pro VS Mini, and Behringer JT4000M Micro synths in it too. It turned into a bonus to be that big.

I really haven’t had this much fun sampling in a long time. The MPC Sample just takes me back to sampling in the 90s with SP202, and SU700. Instead of my SU700 hooked up to the audio from my cable box, it’s now hooked up to my iPad Pro and grabbing samples from all kinds of stuff on youtube. It is just a cool sampler with some limitations that make it all pretty fast to learn to do everything it can do in it.

I set it up in my bedroom at my work desk after I move my laptop. My iPad already permanently in that spot on the side of my work desk.

May get a little stand for it that angles it and a clip on light to clip to the stand so I can read the lettering on it at night better without moving any of my lamps. Same with a two tiered stand for Behringer mini’s and get the D mini or UB-Xa mini to go with the Pro VS mini. I think it would be a better desk quick setup.

I have my HK Audio Lucas Nano 300 2.1 channel PA and a little Yamaha 6 channel mixer on my desk too. MPC Sample and the iOS and little hardware synths there sound great through it. I have a little guitar setup too I can plug into the mixer to sample my guitar in. Quick setup Micro Studio.

Because of this post I got the same case for a friends bday, they love it. Thanks for the recommendation.

The bag just came in. Fits the Sample and the decksaver snugly. Enough room in the frontpocket for cables etc. Highly recommend it to those who live in a country where Thomann ships to.
