Akai MPC 4000 with 512MB RAM

“One of the best and certainly most capable MPC’s ever. Built like a tank, and very comfortable to use, it has a sound as big as its physical size.

This is the rarer blue model that I’ve read is more reliable than the white. It comes with the following:

NEW LCD Screen Display (OEM Akai model)
160GB Hard Drive (OEM Akai model)
CD-RW (OEM Akai model)
512MB RAM (maximum possible)
EBIJS Multi effects board
Power cable (UK-style)

LCD is a new replacement so as bright as they come. It is the original Akai model from another 4000 I have that’s not been used. No lines and a pleasure to view.

Functionality: All buttons and pads work exactly as they should. Pads are responsive, buttons have a nice click. In general the 4000 is a very comfortable sampler to use.

Storage: More that you’ll likely ever need! Currently formatted in the machine as 127GB but you can format externally and re-install to access the whole 160GB. Note: the drive is held in place securely with velcro straps as opposed to the original bracket for easier removal and reinstallation.

CD-RW: You can sample from CDs or use sample CDs. With the CD-RW you can burn your final compositions to disc to play in CD players et al, and also save projects / backup. USB drive works perfectly, and it has a SCSI port on the back too.

Condition: I’ve opened it up cleaned inside and out, including all the buttons and pads! Condition was absolutely fine before, I just know I’d like to receive in the the closest condition to new as possible. The body was cosmetically flawless until I cleaned and somehow managed to scratch the face a little. You can see that under the master tempo button. It’s not major and obviously just cosmetic. Please see photos for any other details regarding condition. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
