Custom MPC: a field guide to rebuilding vintage samplers
An independent publication about modifying MPC machines, with guides covering hardware repairs, storage upgrades, screens, paint, RAM, and real-world costs.
Why it surfaced
The site promises real part numbers, real prices, and photos of actual work rather than generic gear advice. Its opening guides tackle both a complete MPC 1000 build and the compatibility headaches of SCSI-to-SD conversions, while a directory of MPC painters, modders, and repairers is still taking shape.
