Is this going to become a quote battle?

I just ordered my faceplate from VST I should get it around tuesday. Hey Educated I talked to NICK (I think thats what his name was) He said he does have those little plastic pieces and he was going to send me 3 of them, Can't wait till I get the new face! I will be happy as a run-a-way slave!

Yo Tax are you still thinking of getting that Styleflip sticker?

Im thinking of a design right now but most likely I will just use a Exact Science artwork... Then hopefully add in the green LED's to replace the red ones.



What do you guys think of this?

What about this?

Ah forget it these suck...
I guess just leaving the 2500 just plain is better then adding some sticker on it.

I would like to have it all black with green info lettering and green LED's though.

Finally got my Black faceplate in today, I would post pics but it looks the exact same as the one that EDUCATED Posted. Although I am still debating on having it Clear Coated ((Gotta put that CANDY on it! (LOL)), I have to see if it is even possible. I will be checking with a couple of body shops tomorrow! Also just like a car It would add an extra layer of protection!

Yo Explicit, I like the green styleflip you designed. I am seriously thinking about doing one for my 2500 and its TIGHT!!!! I may post it before I order it just to get some feedback.

Just do what I did. Search google for wallpapers and snatch something that describes or represents you some how. You'll find something sick eventually. Took me about 10 minutes to find the one I posted.

I'm going to paint the side panels of my mpc 2500. Haven't decided the color yet but I think it'll be white or wine red. Has anyone else detached the plastic side panels? I took the two screws off from both sides + even the front panel because the side panels weren't coming off easily. The detachment of the front panel had no effect - the side panels won't still release. It feels like there's glue under them or something.


Am I doing something wrong or is there a special tecnique in their detachment?

You need to remove the 2 screws and then pull the side panels forward towards you, then they'll click off.

Hope that helps!

yeah just rock them forward. they snap out. i thought i was gunna break them but its just how it works.

Good Job on the 2500! Damn! I never thought a plain looking MPC could look so good!

Those side panels are ill no doubt, but i'm going to start with black pads and cursor, maybe blue screen if i can afford it.
On the subject of jogwheels, I must say that was the hardest thing to get used to (as well as truncating by moving the decimal..). I hated it ,still do, if anyone can replace the 2500 wheel with a painted black XL whell I will pay.
I dont know but if I wasn't already an MPC head I might have passed on Numarks toy MP series.. Just doesn't feel like the tank my older ones did..

peace

Since I took my 2500LE apart to put the black casing on, My Jog wheel feels a whole lot better, Smoother, More accurate, 1 click = 1 incrament. still not as tight and smooth as the 2000xL IMHO.

what all did you take apart to affect the wheel?
