Go to TOYS R US and get one of those airbrush kits they sell for model cars, it brings a primer and several colors of paint... if you want the paint to stick out pick a color nobody really has...

ouch...that's like 2/3 of what the **** cost...but quality pays. Maybe I could justify it to my girlfriend by saying it's "art". Help me out fellas, it's art right?

thansk everyone for the input. im still not sure yet what i want to do. the only comment i really gotta make is that i would not send my mpc to get customized and pay 3 billion dollars for it when i can do it myself.

lets face it u guys have too much time on your hands. Sure the red is ugly as sin but lets face it so is the blue and so is most of the shhit akai ever made... its not nord or waldorf...

aesthetically the 1000 is a disaster, the buttons are a nightmare to the eye and everyuthing is in the wrong place and the wrong colour but face it and move on - make your groove, its good machine

as for forats - what the fukk are u guys on??? In the UK we don't hold with that shhit - its just like waving your cock in public and anyway u could nearly buy as house in Salford for that money

I mean its about the music - right?

thats right...

i mean you got to be pretty sad to get your gear customized by Forat.

these are musical instruments, not cell phones.

whats the point spending like $850+ on a drum machine to then add like $600 on a paint job. not to mention how they actually treat your gear. i mean your MPC might have been dropped on the floor, or taken apart by a newbie employee and may not put it back together properly.

but back to the point...its really a rip off.

and we want to make music not keep the mpc as a show item.

Yeah, I mean we should all drive '88 navy blue Ford Escorts, cause a car is just transportation right? Individualizing and customizing is what makes life intersting. Otherwise we would all drive the same car, use the same machine, live in the same house, eat the same food. It's all about altering your surroundings...not waving cocks as my man Richard said (although I gotta use that!) I like my Mpc the way it is, but it would be cool to alter it for my taste that's all...Now that I think about it I should paint my studio walls, but I'm afraid my cock will get in the way.

I'm just messing with you Richard! You have said tons of useful stuff on this board, please don't take this the wrong way. Peace!
