Citation : HERE IS THE **** RESPONDS FROM JUSTIN B. FROM AKAI


Gregg,



The traditional MPC1000 pad design has been in use for the past 4-5 years with many, many thousands of units out there being used and working fine. All of our items carry a full one year warrantee covering both parts and labor if the need should ever arise. In response to some customer’s requests, we have created and introduced a Retro Pad Kit which is sold as an option for $150. We recommend that an electronics shop does the installation, but there are a few sites that show instructions as well.
The Retro Pad Kit has a similar feel as the older models like MPC2000, which some people prefer.
Sometimes AKAI or specific Dealers will run various promotions on MPC’s at times, so there may be some units out there that already have some options installed. If you are fortunate enough to find a unit with this option already installed, that’s great. I have no way of knowing what models any particular store has on their shelves.
This is similar to the details on the custom MPC2500 we had built for Guitar Center recently. It comes fully loaded with RAM, hard drive, and CD drive. That promo is limited to however many the stores have on hand. I think there were maybe 2 or 3 units per store available. Some other Dealers also offer discounts and packages on other fully loaded MPC models.
Best of luck in finding whichever models suit your needs best. For many people the traditional MPC1000 is the cornerstone of their studio. Now that you have to option to Retro back to a 2000 era pad, it gives the users even more options. Some people have said that they like it, and other’s say they don’t. We leave it to the customers to decide which style is best for their use.



Best Regards,
Justin Baro
