the linked site that you know him. have only upgrade that costs $ 180. mpc Italian assistance offered me a kit cost € 30/40 (50 dollars approx). is not nothing but a cloth pad to put in place of the old. but in Italy there isn't now no

thanks!
however, the pad that I speak on mpcstuff.com are better than the original pad. if I understand. and therefore cost much more. me enough to the originals. I wanted to see if there is a way to have them quickly.
Thank you for your answers, very courteous

thanks again
Internet not found in any original pad site for ordering. I found only the kit but is too expensive for me.
I hope to be able to solve. thanks again.
if anyone knows where I can try to order them I would be grateful

The blue and the black models are the same. Some of the black models have the pad "upgrade" and some don't. Either way, you can install the original (defective) or the new (upgraded) pads in either of those models. The only difference is the color of the MPC.

I've taken my blue 1000, bought a black housing kit, grey buttons, knobs, slider caps, CF slot plate, and nobody would ever know it was once a blue model. I've done even more cosmetic changes with a blue LCD display and all blue LEDs. Soon I'll replace my pad rubber from the upgrade kit with black pads. Then finally I'll buy the wood sides for it. Some people think I'm crazy for it, but it doesn't matter to me. I love my MPC1000. :)

Those are only the rubber pads, no electronics. And these are only rubber pads for the upgraded components.
