Members raffor Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 The table is kind of misleading since the MPC-1000 improved vastly with JJOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delicious Lamprey Problem Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Rumour showed up, fast shipping. Good eBay seller, that one. Seems like a nice unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members moog man Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Which MPC 1000 is the one with the faulty pads? The blue or black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idiotboy Posted November 6, 2008 Members Share Posted November 6, 2008 Both. All blue MPC1000's have the potential for faulty pads. Some of the black MPC1000's have the potential problem with pads. Three ways to determine if you have the new, good unit: 1. Model number ends in "BK-N" (vs "BK")2. Rear panel is black (not silver)3. Unit has individual pads vs single-sheet pads. (When you wiggle a pad back and forth with your finger, only that pad moves, vs all pads moving.)

Thanks for the tips that will be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idiotboy Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yes. And, you need to take the whole "bad pads" thing with ten or twenty grains of salt. Many people with older units have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Awake77 Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 WOOO nice Awake! Not sure what keyboard you're gonna use with it though Thanks CR! I found a used one locally for $599 and I couldnt say no...the headshell just needed some TLC. I will have to make some guitar tunes with the A6 in the background:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 Let me know how it works for 7-strings. Though that's usually up to the cabinet, the amps can handle it fine.That's an awesome deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members enx Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Speaking of amps, would it be possible to run synths through a pair of cheap tube amps, in stereo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Swami Digital Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yes, you will likely need a reamp device, and also an attenuator if you plan to run it back into A/D and not mic it. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Awake77 Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Let me know how it works for 7-strings. Though that's usually up to the cabinet, the amps can handle it fine. That's an awesome deal!! It's killer - handles the low end from my RG1077XL and other 7's without a hitch! Very tight and clear with great note definition. I have the Clean, XTC, and Recto modules and they're all really good...there's this dude named Pete who professionaly modify any module you send him. This is what he did to the stock XTC: I'm sending him mine in a couple weeks That's the awesome thing about the MTS line - its already super versatile with the modular preamps, but the preamps themselves are pretty much designed to tweak. The circuit boards are really easy to trace and swap comonents in and out...Randall customer service is top notch too...I needed side and top handles, rear grill bar, a bunch of screws and the Randall logo to restore the headshell. I called them up and they had it all at my house in 3 days for like $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raffor Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Mine looks not that nice, but it finally arrived today. I bought it 'as is', but in good condition, what means that the floppy drive is shot (what was expected). But the condition was hardly being rated good. Plenty of screws are missing and there is a big dent on the front panel. Besides that there is plenty of tape residue all over the synth, probably was there to hold everything together. Anyway, one slide cap was missing that I fixed with one of my DSS-1 spare parts as I did with the floppy drive. It is a good thing collect old floppy drives and the best thing is, that I even did not have to use one that works with the Emax. It needs some major cleaning and an update on the power connector. That thing is loose and somehow plastered with electrical tape. I will go instantly to a 3 prong adapter for obvious reason. The good thing is that everything else is working fine, the display has plenty of backlight left and all function, knobs, and sliders are working flawlessly. I need to get the library down from the net. Did anybody do this before and give me some hints, before I waste all my unformatted DD disks on it??I had one before in much better shape and I liked it. I guess this is one of these sentimental buys. I have enough stuff but sometimes it is very difficult to say NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was second hand. +1 I know people they wracked even the MPC-60 pads by using drum sticks. However, both, my 60 and my 1000 are working fine even after all these years.
