MPC 3000

” Selling my wonderful, wonderful MPC3000 with heavy heart. Not been used for a long time (was only really used for about 3 years & has been in storage since). I want to keep this amazing, classic instrument, but can no longer afford to have such a valuable piece of kit unused.
The last & best of the MPCs Akai built with Roger Linn (the series continued, but not with his involvement, so were not really the same) the metal bodied (again stopped after this model) beast beloved of so many hip hop & dance producers (the classic MPCs that are used are the MPC60 MkII & this MPC3000, which was the uprated model as used by J Dilla etc). This one is fitted with an extra 8MB of RAM in addition to the Akai 2MB board, giving 10MB total & so enhanced recording time.
Absolutely superb condition, I’ve owned it since new, looked after it & as above it wasn’t used for a long period of time, only about 3 years at the end of the 90s when I was producing.
Carefully stored in all original packaging (as you can see) it comes with this, its full set of disks & manual (also a large number of extra sound disks which I’ll throw in, but I can’t really remember what’s on them!).” Click here to search for MPCs on eBay

” Akai MPC3000 Vailixi 3.5, CF Reader, IB-CRT Video Option, 32MB RAM, ONE CLEAN MACHINE

It is with great sadness that I’m selling my venerable MPC 3000! This thing is the quintessential beat machine from the golden age of hip hop!

Over the years it has seen many upgrades and repairs including:
-Backlight replacement
-Display inverter replacement
-Pad sensor replacement.
-It has the ultra rare VGA option (Akai IB-CRT) which lets you use an external monitor.
-It has the Vailixi 3.5 software which I bought years ago legitimately from Rohan Mansell ( not the counterfeit version )
-It also has the internal Compact flash drive mod which makes this machine much more useful in the modern age.

As you can see, hundreds upon hundreds have been invested in Parts and Labor.

Comes with a Calzone flight case and new 1GB CF card.

The only thing I would note is that the tact switches under the transport controls may need to be replaced at some point. Sometimes you need to push the stop button hard for it to work. This is an easy fix for any decent tech (tact switches are included).

Being sold “as is” due to the tact switch minor repair needed.

Includes MPC3000, Calzone Case, Cleaning Cloth, CF Card,Power Cord and Replacement Tact Switches.
