MPC very rare drum computer C64!


A true oddity here...here's more info from the seller! MUSIC PERCUSSION COMPUTER, THIS IS A VERY RARE VINTAGE DRUM MACHINE/PROCESSING COMPUTER, OFTEN USED WITH OLD COMPUTERS (C64, SPECTRUM,BBC ETC) THROUGH ONE OF THE PORTS IN THE BACK HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE SO WILL DESCRIBE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, ALL 8 PADS PRODUCE A SOUND ONE SEEMS TO BE A BIT LOOSE BUT IS ATTACHED, THE CLOSED HIHAT SEEMS A BIT QUITE BUT THIS COULD BE DUE TO THE NATURE OF ITS SOUND, ALL THE BEND, MIX, PITCH, TIGHTEN, TONE, LEVEL AND DECAY KNOBS SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, WHEN THE CLAP MODE IS PRESSED AND THE CLAP LEVEL TURNED UP THERE IS A LOT OF BACKGROUND NOISE, THE CLAP WORKS OK BUT IT IS DROWNED OUT BY THE NOISE, THIS COULD BE AN EASY FIX FOR SOMEONE IN THE KNOW BUT I MUST LIST IT AS A FAULT, EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO WORK FINE BUT I HAVE NOT SET THIS UP TO A PC TO TEST ALL OTHER APPS, WHEN YOU PRESS PLAY ON THE KEYPAD LIGHTS START AND WHEN YOU PRESS STOP THEY STOP. SIMILARLY WITH OTHER FUNCTIONS PRESSED THE LIGHTS ACTIVATE IN DIFERENT WAYS, INDICATING ALL IS WELL WITH THE KEYPAD AND ELECTRONICS, IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME, COMES WITH POWER LEAD AND DEMO CASSETTE(UNTESTED) HOUSED IN AN INDUSTRIAL CASE, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AS IT IS VERY HEAVY, go bid HERE!
