Akai MPC 500

“The unit powers on, it will sample and all pads are working however, it’s pretty beaten up and cannot sell it as a working product, even if all functions do work, (the jog wheel is glitchy but sort of works and most of the switches need a good push to select their functions) it will not save to card and has actually ruined a few cards so I wouldn’t bother doing that YOUVE BEEN WARNED!!

ITS MISSING THE BACK COVER but has the ram upgrade

I’ve been using it to color my sounds, it has a nice gritty texture when you pitch a sample up 12st then resample and pitch down 12st.. got that lofi crunch going on.. also I use the effects which are surprisingly good.. the filters are also nice, poor mans mpc 1000 basically

In short, this machine is a mess, you can make a beat on it and track out the audio via output, but saving or loading anything isn’t an option
