Hey there.This listing is for an original MPC 60 by Akai. I recently installed the chip set for the 3.1 operating system by Roger Lynn, so it basically functions like an MPC 3000. I've owned a 3000, a maxed out 2000xl, and a 500, but the 60 is by far my favorite. The sample rate is often referred to as lofi, but to me the MPC 60 is the best sounding sampler ever made. I'm a huge fan of the effects loop in the back. If you own any rack gear, guitar pedals, Kaoss Pads, Roland SPs, etc., you can really customize your sound and mix the amount of external effect in the MPC. This beauty is in perfect working condition and excellent cosmetic shape for its age. There are a few worn spots on the edges of some knobs and what not, but nothing crazy. The screen isn't the brightest, not sure it ever was, but it's fully functional and easy to read, no lines or flickering. It does save to floppy disks, but I'll include as many as I can round up (between 10 and 20), as well as a USB floppy drive so you can back up the disks on your computer and reuse the same disks. I'll try to load some better pictures, I took those with my phone and they really don't do it justice. I really hate to let this go, but I recently broke my hand and surgery ain't cheap. Here's what Vintage Synth Explorer has to say about the MPC 60:"The MPC60 is the music production studio that has single-handedly taken over the Rap and R&B music genres as the main instrument of HipHop production. Designed by Roger Linn (Linn Drum), the MPC60 is a one-box-does-it-all sequencer-sampler workstation.The built-in sequencer is very complete and professional. There are 99 tracks per sequence, 99 patterns, and 99 sequences that can be created, edited and stored in the MPC60 with ease. Most artists create their patterns in real-time adding drum parts to a beat-loop spontaneously creating a groove that captures the vibe. These patterns are varied and chained into a sequence. Full MIDI, SMPTE and various other forms of external control prepare the MPC60 for any studio situation.The Sampler section is lo-fi but highly respectable. Its 12-bit sampling at 40KHz is pretty good. Sample editing, looping and transforming is simple to do. And finally, there's even a built-in drum machine for extra groove! Finally, the 18 voices of polyphony should be plenty of room for anyone who wants to create HipHop on the machine of professional artists worldwide including Apollo 440, BT, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jimmy Edgar, DJ Shadow, Jermaine Dupri, and A Guy Called Gerald."
