aw shit, it came today, **** UPS chichimon driver **** **** this shit up. had to be him. the bottom came out(it was packed at a UPS store the **** didn't tape up the bottom...i got a call from the person that was here about it coming in **** up, wit the bottom openin out, worried all day n night... got back...

shit opened, the sidearm cracked, but the mpc60 still is working. that's what i call a **** tank!:-D

man this thing is dope...i forgot how dope! I used to have hte MKII for a day or 2(until somone offered me a mpc2kxl studio plus when they were $$$), realized it was a stupid deal( did the trade before i got it) stupid in terms of use not $... but damn this pleather(leather maybe?) arm rest really makes shit even more fun. it's better than the mpc3000 the way it's laid out...

the sound too i'm lovin....so so dope!:-D i'm in love...!

yea i was happy i bought this shit on the bay for $530!! wit 3.10 os... It was kinda ugly looking so i was thinking i was prolly getting one with sticky buttons and pads that werne't so sensitive but not the case...shit's bangin :-)

sorry giddy like a school girl at the moment, i'd be fcuckin on it now if i had the energy to rewire my studio to accomidate it, n make some space...:o tommorow tho tommorow!:-)

I've opened up my 60 more than a few times and I've never seen a fan in it.

werd, the way it's setup now tho i can hardly tell noise lol...there's so much noisy shit in my studio ugh...comp is noisy as ****, my space echo is noisy, this thing is defniately less than teh space echo's

i'll prolly have to open it up n have a looksy:-) it's probably just some voltages that need to be trimpotted up
