Used Gear Conditions

Condition 1 - Mint Condition

This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.

Condition 2 - Gently Used

Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few, minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to this used product.

Condition 3 - Good Condition

This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips, dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to this used product.

Condition 4 - Fair – Needs Repair

This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Condition 5 - Poor – Parts Only

This instrument or product has been damaged beyond what we judge is reasonably repairable. It's best used for spare parts or to practice repairs on, and at this price Condition 5 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Akai MPC 2500

Product Description
The Akai Professional MPC2500 Music Production Center combines a 64-Track MIDI Sequencer with a 32-voice 16bit Stereo Digital Sampler. The MPC is a rock solid sequencing and drum programming machine with 16 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads. The unit allows you to sample more efficiently. This composition center is contained in one extremely powerful desktop unit. Designed for professional audio production, the MPC2500's intuitive and ergonomic interface makes it the ultimate user friendly composition studio Two internal effects processors can be used simultaneously. This includes a wide range of effects algorithms, such as reverb, bit grunger, chorus, phasers, flying pan, 4-band EQ, compressor, and a phase shifter. Real-time control is provided by two note variation sliders and two Q-Link knobs. Q-link knobs can be separately assigned to allow flexible, real-time performance control of a wide variety of selectable parameters. These parameters include level, pan, filter cut-off and resonance, tuning, LFO(low frequency oscillator) speed depth, all effect parameters and more. Each assignable Q-Link knob can generate MIDI controller data so that all performance information can be recorded and played back from within a sequence. The Q-Link sequencer allows cyclic modulation programming. Following the highly acclaimed MPC60 and MPC3000, 2 MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs come standard enabling 64 external MIDI channel operation. In addition, the MPC2500 can individually control its onboard sampler up to 64 Parts, allowing users to assign a different program on each track. A large LCD screen allows a clear view of sequence data displaying features such as a piano roll, or a drum machine 'grid'. Continuous MIDI data can be shown as well as edited graphically. The MPC2500 comes with 16MB of onboard memory which can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM via the optional EXM128 memory card. The MPC2500 has the capability of an optional internal 80GB Hard Disk and CD-RW drives.
