The MPC series from AKAI has enjoyed great popularity among professionals as well as hobby musicians and DJs for several decades. Not only in the hip-hop scene, but also among producers in the dance and techno sector and DJs, the MPC has established itself in its various versions.
The easy-to-learn operating concept and the robust construction contributed significantly to the success of the AKAI MPC series.
The 16 velocity-sensitive rubber keys typical of this type of device have now been adopted by numerous other manufacturers in their concepts. They enable a very simple mode of operation, which is now also used in some DAWs and software synthesizers.

Over the years, AKAI has released ten different MPCs. Most of them differ mainly in the possibility to connect extensions, such as hard disks, or to increase the size of the internal memory.
Starting with the MPC60, the class of devices still named "Midi Production Center" by the inventor Roger Linn, AKAI has expanded the range of this meanwhile renamed class of devices since 1988. The naming was by no means continuously ascending, but almost all MPCs have one thing in common: they bear a number to distinguish the respective version. Only since 2017 has AKAI also brought musical instruments of the MPC class onto the market that deviate from this rule. Also in 2017, AKAI also turned to the users of modular synthesizers with the MPC X, and equipped the MPC X with 8 outputs each for CV and GATE.

The popularity of the MPC 2000XL from 1999 remains unbroken, however, and it was offered in several different special models. By the way, the MPC 2000 MCD was the first to have an internal memory card reader instead of the floppy disk drive, which was already coming to an end at that time.

Errors and malfunctions with AKAI MPCs

Although the devices were built to a very high standard, certain signs of wear and tear could not be avoided.
For example, it is primarily the buttons for menu navigation that fail after a few years of use in the home studio, on stage or in the club. This is where the so-called "bouncing" occurs, i.e. the function is triggered several times after pressing a button, or the same function does not occur. Both types of behaviour cause annoying disruptions in the use of the musical instrument and can easily lead to frustration and loss of enjoyment.
But also the knobs and sliders give up after a few years, and produce, for example, an unpleasant scratching when using volume controls, or the well-known jumping between data values when using knobs and sliders.
The displays become illegible over time. This is due to the age of the MPC, because the LCD displays with built-in backlighting become dim over time, and/or the backlighting simply breaks down.

Repair instead of buying a new one

The repair or maintenance of the MPC can be done quite easily. Replacing the push-buttons can be done quickly in a specialist workshop, but the knobs and sliders can also be replaced to make your unit functional again.
The LCD display can also be replaced with a modern LED display to improve the value of your music device and thus its service life in the long term.
In our specialist workshop, we repair your equipment professionally and expertly using spare parts from our own extensive stock.
