  1. [CURSED RAM] I went to Sweden to play with my buddy Kenneth Lien and we play a trad. track called Nordafjells where there is a sample of an owl in a "drop" Well not this time the #MPC500 went silent! After I came home I found out it was because of a cursed #RAM expansion 🤯 You live and learn; swapped it with the RAM from my MPC1000 and the owl is back for the next round of folkclubbing! 🦉 I also wonder If there is some moar RAM in the wrecked MPC I got in my drawer at home? #MPC #synth #owl

  6. Upps, what a unusual donation. The donator kept the original boxes 👍 #Multitech #MPC500 with HDD. And #EACA #VideoGenieI #EG3003. A nice addition for our rooms.

  11. DIY'd a ghetto fix for the horrendous pads on the #MPC500: black electrical tape. Took about 4 to 4½ inches of it and folded it over itself 5 times (sticky side in) to make a littlw black rectangle, and popped one of those under each pad.

    Night and day. The 5 layers was a guess, but it was a good one. They feel surprisingly like the pads on a classic MPC. Super responsive, and the velocity sensitivity feels far more natural.

    The outer edges and corners of the pads still sorta "squish" like they did before, but I wouldn't notice it if I wasn't looking for it.

    Coming from previously owning an #MPC2000, I honestly don't know how Akai let the 500 and 1000 out the door with these pads. It's actually embarrassing, and I can only hope the more recent ones have moved on from this squishy hollow "button" action.

    I was ready to sell this thing within 24 hours of getting it, but this turned out so surpisingly well, I think this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

  12. I did another thing... surprising absolutely no one at all.

    The problem with trying to pacify myself with a cheap #SP202 in hopes that it would tide me over and prevent a more expensive impulse buy, is that it only made it worse.

    We all know where this ends... but I'll try and make this far cheaper toy last for a while before the inevitable purchase of a fully loaded #2000XL
