This is a very common issue. Are they sheet pads or individual? Even if you turn on full velocity, they still don't work

Well I'm not to familiar with the 2000s.but I'll help ya with what I know. I know on the 1000s,they come with individual pads. You can tell by pulling on say pad 1, does it move the pads next to it? If it doesn't, you have the individuals. The individual pads have carbon sheet contact sensors under the rubber pads. After a while the sheet pops off. If you take the pad bank out, and pop one of the dead pads apart you'll see what I mean. You can re glue that sheet down to fix it.

Or buy new pads. If you decide to try and fix, hit me up and I'll explain in detail

Wow that's wierd. Even at full velocity? I have a mpc 2000 coming in tomorrow. Not sure what condition it's in, maybe I'll end up selling parts from it.
