Akai MPC 3000 Integrated Rhythm Machine 16 Bit Drum Sampler MIDI Sequencer - 120V

Released in 1994 and made in Japan, the Akai MPC3000 is a standalone 16-bit sampling drum machine and MIDI sequencer developed by Roger Linn in collaboration with Akai. It was the final MPC model produced with Linn’s direct involvement.

This example has been upgraded and refurbished with:

  • Expanded 32MB sample memory

  • Refurbished internal power supply

  • Brand-new LCD screen

  • New pad-sensor sheet

  • Internal SCSI SD-card reader installed in place of the original floppy drive

The SD-card conversion provides a more convenient and dependable way to save and load sounds, programs and sequences while retaining the MPC3000’s standalone workflow.

The MPC3000 samples in stereo at 16-bit/44.1kHz and provides 32-voice polyphony, resonant dynamic filtering, envelopes and internal effects. Its 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads are arranged across four banks, allowing up to 64 sound assignments within a program.

The sequencer holds up to 99 sequences with 99 tracks per sequence and includes real-time and step recording, swing, timing correction, note repeat, track shifting and song arrangement. Four independent MIDI outputs provide 64 MIDI channels for controlling external synthesisers, samplers and drum machines.

The MPC3000 became particularly associated with influential producers including J Dilla, Dr. Dre and Just Blaze, valued for its responsive pads, direct workflow, sampling character and distinctive sequencer feel.
