” Akai MPC 2500 VG + condition, lightly used. Has CF card, and manual & “MPC Bible”. Condition is “Used”.
I bought this about a decade ago intending to advance my beat making, but work, family, and life kept me from doing much with it. Its been in storage and unused from 2013 until now.
Cosmetically, it is in very good condition. Black paint coating is all intact, and none of the lettering is rubbing off. There was one very small scratch, but I went over it years ago with a black oil marker to prevent the metal underneath from being exposed. Honestly, I don’t even see it anymore, so I don’t remember where it is.
Everything is original. Works great. Tested recently with chopping up an Allman Brothers sample and sequencing some external MIDI drum machines. It has the preloaded samples plus a few drum kits I added in my testing.
If you know MPCs, you know they are professional equipment for producing music. I won’t go into all the specs because you can read them elsewhere, but to summarize this is a powerful Sampler and MIDI Sequencer for music production. Many hit songs from the 90s and 2000s were produced on this model or other MPCs in its family of products.
I will say this: this MPC2500 is built like a tank. Things are not built to this quality anymore, and it could withstand live shows and touring. Just picking it up and feeling the controls gives the impression that Akai really cared about quality when making this unit.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
