Hell naw :lol: Where did you get that idea from?

My 2500 works perfectly. I doubt I will have hardware issues because I take care of my gear.

I did have to send it to Akai because I had this issue with my LCD not displaying characters when I attempt to update the OS. I was the only person in the forums that had this problem. Akai fixed this problem for me and I am happy to have my babygirl at home..........

My MPC 3000 have some pads that need to be replaced...so I am sending it off to VST for repair.

My take is that they are massed produced like many other electronics. There probably is a bad apple in every so many...that's why its so great to have a warranty to just send it back.

My 2500 has the black pads installed. They seem to be so much softer and better feeling than the grey pads. So far, I have no issue or complaints about the pads on the 2500.
