When I first purchased my MPC2500 I noticed a few flaws with the actual build of the machine. The cheep feeling jog wheel was not up to my standards especially after coming from my MPC2000 which has the best jog wheel concept out of all the MPC’s I v used. The MPC2500′s jog wheel looks and feels cheep, not to say my mod makes your MPC look better, but you will save some money in the end.

The major flaw with the jog wheel on the 2500 is the uneven distribution of pressure on the ring underneath the jog wheel. The dip in the original jog wheel is for you to place your finger and spin the wheel, pushing down in one spot causing uneven pressure. You could either spin the data wheel like a giant knob and not use the dip for your finger, this would preserve your data wheel or you could reinvent the data wheel like I did.

First you will need a roll of Duct tape (gaffers tape holla at Mr. Wall!) , A dial off of a radio or some kind of round object that has an extended center at the bottem to rap tape around it.(check pictures) You could also get creative and find or cut a peice of wood to fit the curcumfrence of the ring underneath. I made a short video of my MPC2500 Data wheel Mod. Enjoy.
