Hello,

Can i mount the mpc 1000 into a Rack?It´s possible to rebuild the panels?

the plastic panels on the side only have a few small screw securing them to the casing. If you intend on banging on the pads after modifying it to fit a rack it would probably break off. You would probably get better results finding a way to modify either the top or bottom panel so you can secure the rack ears to it. Any reason why? I cant see the MPC being fun to play if its on a rack.

That's not the idea of the MPC. If you want that, buy a second hand Akai S3000, Yamaha A3000/4000 or an Emu sampler. Much cheaper and much more rackable.

nice position for the mixer there kneebone, is that a behringer or something? Sorry, slightly off topic, but I've been tryin to think of a way to have a setup like that with the mixer in the centre and easily accessable. I'd like to have everything centred if i could so i don't have to move out of that monitoring sweet spot.

Yeah, it's a Behringer RX1202FX. but this isn't my rig. I saw this picture and saved it because I liked how they set it up. It looks really porable.

Oh yes, now I see. Now I understand. I was wrong. :oops:

precisely...

i'm not hatin, like i said "no offense"

but i can see no practicaltiy in that setup. messy too.
