This is my baby, and it's been the heart of my set-up for a while.  Never considered selling it before, but I gotta downsize and make more room in my apartment for my son.  That's the reason you see it here.  It's a great machine; it's like new and has very responsive pads.  The 'mode' button completely works, although it just doesn't sit as tightly in the chassis as the other buttons.  But besides that this piece of equipment is in great, fully functional condition.This machine and it's design is a staple in the music production community--you can't go wrong with it.  It adds a nice hip-hop style warmth to your music that is hard to replicate.  You can really hear the difference when it comes time to record!I'm throwing in a 4 gb compact flash card for free with this purchase!  Enjoy!Here's some info about the MPC 2500 from AKAI:The platinum-hit producer.MPC2500 has set the industry benchmark for beat production.
