Does anyone actually have problems with the pads of the black version? I look for only a personal experience, nothing else. Thank You!

i believe they are the same make which means you will (but not necessarily) have problems, and if you dont live in the USA then your problems might be worse. ask antonym.

After being a MPC2000XL user for 5 years and the MPC died on me (pads died+screen died+rotary died after 300+ gigs which is ok for a 'studio machine') >>> I got a new MPC1000.

The MPC1000 pads worked for 2 hours. Now 2 are dead (they do trigger every 10th time they are pressed or so + trigger themselves randomly)

How **** great is this? Let's talk a little bit of quality control on a 1000€ machine. A cheapo plastic MPC1000 that works for a total of 2 hours.

A big **** you to Akai on this one! I have a paying customer and studio booked on monday (friday now) and I have a clicktrack+guides to-to.

I will never buy/trust an Akai product again.
