“This is an Akai MPC 2000 XL Vintage Midi Production Center Drum Machine. From a local estate. Seems to be a basic stock model with no options. Read details below before bidding.
Cosmetics-Nice and clean overall with just some minor wear. Looks like it was used very little. It was wrapped up in storage for years. Display body plastic has a half inch burn off to the right corner. See lots of photos of what you are getting.
Operational Condition-I am not a music person but did my best in checking this out. It does power up and advances to the function screens. Buttons and controls changed the parameters on the display. When I pushed the record and play buttons the red lights came on and the time on display started running. Using the audio outputs I heard a constant metronome type beat from both channels clearly. I was able to adjust the speed using the tempo button and the volume control adjusted smoothly. It seems to generally respond but its more advanced features are untested. I did not get any software so the floppy drive part is untested. Also the drum pads did not make any type of noise when pushed. They did change the parameter functions on the display so they do seem to make contact. But no sounds. Not sure if it needs software or programming for those functions ?? Untested otherwise so I am not sure if it has issues ?? It was in storage for years. Sold AS IS.” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
