Saw a topic on the 1000 thread and someone found the service manual for the mpc 1000, anyone got it for the 500. Forat said if they had the manual they could do some modifications. Boost the output u dig. :) Peace.

If you want greater gain, then why don't you buy a stereo pre-amp. That would gain you up :-)

Got one of those, eimer. I mean Forat can boost the output like they do on the 3000's! :)

Can we get anything aside from gain boost? If so, I'll just mail him my manual.


Naw, ssnedden not the manual that comes with the mpc, the service manual.
U know the repair manual. I called forat and I asked them they said they could not do anything with the 500 cause they don't have the schematics. As far as hacking the OS, NO they cannot do it, but output boost and other mechanical stuff they definitely can. Here's Forat's website

But you can, with enough calls to forat maybe we can get some results, atleast they can start customizing the colors and add some graphics, that would be tony the tiger...grrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaatttt! I want to get my mpc the same color as the old 3000's. I can go to skin flip but that aint the same.
