WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. This machine loads samples perfectly and performs as it should. The pads feel great and the Hi Hat decay fader is lubricated and smooth. The backlight on the screen is out but it is still legible. There are no issues with the 3.5 floppy disk drive and the sound has that pure magic that only a real MPC60 can deliver.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. Being nearly 50 years old, the ivory finish has browned a bit, but there are no mechanical issues. The jog wheel still has a nice click to its tactile feel, and the pads are all in great shape. All of the jacks and the screen are also in very good condition.

Still the KING of MPC's! 


The Akai MPC60 is a legendary 12-bit sampling workstation and MIDI sequencer released in 1988, designed by Roger Linn to be an intuitive all-in-one studio for hip-hop and R&B production. It is widely celebrated for its "gritty" and "warm" sound, attributed to its non-linear 12-bit converters and unique swing/shuffle timing that defined the sound of 90s urban music.
