Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By L. Tombstone Wed Mar 23, 2005 12:58 am
DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?? :lol: Sorry just playin, couldn't resist...But seriously, why don't you take an old chair (like one of them 70's joints with a hollow metal frame) and saw the backing off with a hacksaw. With a towel over it, it makes a nice little stand where you can sit in a chair and work on beats(I made one for myself). Or cop one of those double x stands and use the top tier for the MPC and maybe put a keyboard on the bottom if you got one. S*** just modify some piece of furniture you already got at the house for your s***. Just some low budget ideas really- no need to give these companies anymore money then they already gettin if you ain't makin big $$$ from your music. I mean damn wouldn't mind having a smooth Argosy desk + extra Argosy rack space, but if I ain't building an SSL console into that room, then f*** it.

^Word.Just find a desk or something through Craiglist or Freecycle or something.Or like Tombstone suggested just use somethin' you already have at the house.Why spend all that doe on a desk/stand when you can use it for gear?

You can get a cheap (used?) folding X keyboard stand and put a wooden plank on it, then put the MPC on top. On stage, I use the X stand with an empty guitar case or keyboard case on top.

I'll just guess you are looking for something looks good

MIX-400

You can also get them at Guitar Center for like $75 so either way it doesn't cost much.

yo i really suggest you invest a hundred bucks into a stand like quiklok, or the mix400 or whatever its called...i bought the quiklok and for my situation, i just pull it right next to me while im sleepin, eating, chillin, thinking, u get the point, buy one, they're dope...peace...

Good move, it's a lot more functional than people think.
The Good thing about the MIX-400 is it works with the 2000, 2000xl, 60, 60II, 3000 and 4000 as well as other units like SP's.
