So you’re thinking of how awesome it would be to customize YOUR MPC 2000xl, or your 1000, or your 60. You say “eff it, I’m gonna do it!” Then you realize you have no idea what you want to do with it. Maybe some of these great examples pulled from the web will get your creative juices flowing.
Let’s call this one the St. Patty’s Day Special:
Very simple, very plain, very GREEN. This a good way to go if you happen to be Irish, an Oregan Fan, or the Philly Fanatic. Of course, doing a different color is always an option, sleek black, crisp white, maybe even a bright yellow?
Let’s call this The A-Team Van:
Really hot, very simple. I really like this one because of it’s simplicity. Letter was never put on, but it just looks great. Almost looks like the SP-1200 reissue. More than anything though, it looks like the A-Team van, see what I mean:

This is one is BY FAR one of my favorites. I’ll probably end up doing something like this to mine, something I always wanted to do. Introducing, the Ski Resort.
You can see how it’s just some off the wall type of ish. I’d really like to see it with some kind of wooden sides and front plate, but that’s a whole different carpenter issue. Wish I still had that spot in Port Richmond right next to the woodcutters, they could’ve hooked it up easily.
Let’s move on to the color changer. Looks like those cars they put out a while ago that changed colors, was it the Matrix? We’ll call it that anyway….
I really like this one. Not sure why, I guess it’s just the simplicity and cleanliness factor. Almost looks like an exclusive stock release. Like some kind of Special Edition that WASN’T really ugly. Good job Dj Dessex.
And last but not last, the Krush Groove!
Something about this just SCREAMS old school New York. It’s not the best Graff Job I’ve seen but it’s got that whole kind of “I saw that in Krush Groove” kind of feel. Great job, super custom, that’s the kind of ONE OF A KIND Customization you really look for.
Hopefully these 5 examples gave you something to think about when you’re thinking of you want your gear designed. If you’re a designer and creating a design for printing, make sure you’re using HI-RES (300 dpi) if you want to look it’s best. If you need any help or want to have your akai MPC customized, just reach out to us by e-mail and we can help you get started.
This is just Part 1, I’m sure there will be plenty more posts showing custom designed gear…wink wink.

After you have the files properly formatted on your hard drive, you can remove the drive from your mp3 player and plug it into a “usb” port on your computer. You then go to your hard drive, find the files you copied, making sure they are in the proper format,and then move them to the drive of your Mp3 player.
