for the most part i'm not really looking at the screen when i'm using my mpc...it's kind of like a computer keyboard in that respect, i'm usually just kinda gazing off. makes me feel better because degenerative vision runs in my family so if i ever go blind i'll still be able to make tunes.

me, i'd like to make a mechanical arm for my mpc that holds my joints for me.

i know, i know...no smoke in the studio....

Im here, dont know if I'm back though.

As far as the stand for the screen, I finished that project but the stand was too bulky and just put the screen back. Instead, I put 2 L brackets in the back left and right of the mpc to tilt it.

It works fine for me. I'm about to sell my mpc1k though :oops: Im getting a MPC2500. Not because the mpc1k sucks but because I want bigger pads, 8 outs, 4 midi outs, cd drive and ofcourse, the tilt screen. The mpc1k was my first mpc and I loved it.

This is the mpc now but I am currently still upgrading. Sold the RS7000 and the motif ES rack is commin in on monday. The HS80Ms are next. Also I plan on getting the Tascam 1082.
