kakapo 423 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I've put BCM straight in at #3 on the EKT kill list for this speaker placement white goods debacle. theBro at #2 for his 50 squid moog omnishambles. That guy who thought he'd bought a barp 2600 then an odyssesy turned up still way out in front at #1. 2 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TubularCorporation 753 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Stand showed up early. Just need to open it up, pull out all the boards and replace two or three tact switches and it'll be back in action after a couple years in a suitcase in the closet. Can't wait. Now I need to hack together some kind of mounting hardware so I can rack the Octatrack above it on the brackets for mounting an MFC42 that I've got. Not going to drop $50 on an official Octatrack rack kit just to drill holes in it so it'll work. Seems like at least once a month I wish I had a bending brake. I also wish I could afford an OEM card reader. This was actually the MCD model and had the original reader when I got it, but I moved it into something else that's a lot more picky about drives than the MPC is and basically only works with a real ZIP drive or an original Akai MCD. If a used one wasn't like $300+ now I'd get a second one so I could restore this to it's original, hot-swappable glory. Edited July 21, 2020 by TubularCorporation 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TubularCorporation 753 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I still need to open up the MPC and replace the tact switches for the down cursor (doesn't work at all anymore) and the 5 button (still works but was already a bit intermittent when I got it back in 2009 or 10), but I've finally more or less combined my 2010-2016 workflow with my 2017-2020 workflow. Found a used Octatrack rack kit on Reverb for about half the price of a new one (but it looked unused until I scratched it with a scribe while I was marking the spacing of the screw holes onto some acrylic scrap and my hand slipped). Unfortunately I stripped off about 3 inches of teeth from the nicest hand saw I've ever owned when I was cutting the acrylic spacers that let the Octatrack cover still fit on with the rack ears attached. I'd have thought 2mm of acrylic would be more gentle on a saw than stuff like 1" thick pieces of hardwood (which is the kind of thing I've used it on with no trouble for years, since maybe 2013) but I guess I was wrong, because the acrylic somehow literally sheared the teeth completely off. Really sucks, because it was about a $40 saw and I'm not going to get another one any time soon so I'll just have to use the part of it that still has teeth from now on. Worth it, though. Whenever I've set up both together in the past it was jsut a mess because they'd take up all the table space so anything else I was using would have to be somewhere else and if I wanted to record MIDI from an external controller I'd have to set it up somewhere off to the side where I couldn't easily reach (or see) either sequencer while I was using it, and it just made it a struggle. Now I've got a little sampling and sequencing station I can set up wherever I want to work. Edited July 30, 2020 by TubularCorporation Link to post Share on other sites

If my $5 hacksaw can cut through metal it can cut through acrylic I actually ruined a nice saw this way - the acrylic heated up enough that it stuck to the teeth and snapped about 4" off them completely off. A hacksaw works well as long as you go slow. Get it close and then finish it with a file. Link to post Share on other sites
