MPC60 MKII for £550

3k filter is ill. dont sleep

i'm not sleeping i'm wide awake watching the snooker final and updating basecamp, my life is so edgy and raw right now...

i think all filtering has never been akais strong suit...i had a 950 and it was ok, more just like a very basic tone control than a really useful creative tool. the roland and emu samplers i have owned had way more power and punch in the filtering dept, but not the smack of the 60, so i find there's a bit of hopping aound to get the desired effect. sherman filterbank is on the list, heads i listen to seem to put that up as #1

hmmm so Dott took it then, but I didn't watch that intensely.

the shermans are pretty expensive but I've heard good things about them.

Anyone rate this as a cheaper alternative?



its only low pass though

actually they're only £500 brand new, might be worth having another look

hey what a co-inkydink! i'm sellin an mpc60 too! wit 3.10 os and scsi. Also selling another mpc60 with 3.10 os, no scsi.

and also a sherman filterbank!:-D

let me know if interested.


I just bought a studio 440 and gotta sell my mpc60 to pay for it. i'll miss that bugger tho:-(

oh yea i'll sell mine for 550gbp too!:-D

my mpc is cooler too it's got MK1 ismz:-)

soz mate, I don't tend to buy gear from abroad too many issues and risks!

yup, especially that shitty ass brittish post office!:x I shipped as tudio 440 over there, they completely destroyed teh box, didn't give it to the guy for like 6 months just held it there:(

but if uz buying an mpc, go for the MK1, wait a while, spend a little more, much more enjoyable for a MK1 than a MKII

hah I reckon its more likely to be customs, absoloutely a law unto themselves them cunce are. But its not just the postage issues that put me off but also power supplies etc. I know you can get voltage transformers but I still don't like it....

naw, it was the post office. it sucked. the guy was at least cool, a richard d james from london:-), believed me that i sent it out. it got sent to me i had to pay like $50 to get the return cost another $50 to ship it back. oh well. he got it in the end. I miss that studio 440, that's why mez gettin another one soon...

i got too many sampling drum machines atm now too:

2xMpc60, 1 studio 440...

a few months ago it was a little worse, forat9000, sp1200, mpc3000, mpc1000

out of all of em, i really love the mpc60 the most. 3000 is cool, but i'd rather a 60 i like the button arrangement better. and i use an akai s6000 for the hi fi sounds, mpc60+s6000 costs about the same as an mpc3000, and now i got many more options, about 256mb of ram, USB, effects, 128 voices, lots of sample editing features, removable face... i think everyone should do this combo;-)

Them filterbanks can be picked up for less than £300 used.

A couple of the Moog's will set you back more but then i'm sure they sound nice
