The MPC 1000 includes a 64-track sequencer which helps a musician build pattern-based music files. The module also includes 16 pads with individual controls to each pad through the workstation interface. The MPC 1000 has a USB interface to connect with a computer system for transfer of files.
If the MPC 1000 is having screen problems, it could be that the screen contrast knob is turned down or the backlight in the display unit is not getting enough electricity to the display panel.
If the problem is just the contrast knob, adjust the knob until the display is seen. If the display does not adjust, then it’s probably safe to say that there is an electrical problem. Take the unit to an authorized dealer or repair shop.
