Akai MPC 2000XL MCD with 32MB RAM, 8-outs, Internal Card Reader

mpc2000xlcmd “READ ENTIRE POST. THE UNIT WORKS WITH SEVERAL KNOWN ISSUES. My goal is to be transparent about what is/isn’t working. I can’t guarantee the unit at all, no refunds or returns, period.

Includes 256MB CF card and nothing else. No power cable.

Generally the unit works. The OS boots fine from internal memory (I believe) without the card inserted. There are some sounds/programs on the card as well.

KNOWN DEFECTS: The slider does not work and the cap is missing. The SCSI port looks damaged, I’m not able not test it. If you look inside the CF reader one of the pins looks bent. I still reads the included CF card without error. It’s possibly a pin that’s not used by the MPC(?). I tried putting a 2GB Panasonic SD card into the reader and it DID recognize it as 2GB but got some error when attempting to format. Not sure, but could be issue with size/type of SD card?

What works: All pads work (occasional double triggers), all buttons work, all knobs/dials work. All input/output jacks work OTHER THAN SCSI, Digital I/O, SMPTE (I don’t know if they do, I’m not able to test them). There is some very slight bleed through on the 8 individual outputs, not sure if this is a universal issue with the 2000XL, but you can like faintly hear a couple pads occasionally on outputs not assigned to them. ” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay
