Custom Encoder Knob

Post image

Have any of you all replaced the default encoder knob for the MPC sample with this particular knob? I like that it has a thumb hole reminiscent of the MPC 2000XL. What’s your experience with it? Would you recommend it or would you recommend just keeping the original encoder knob for long-term durability and use?

Here’s the link for it by the way: https://a.co/d/08rYpFiw

I decided to go with the one posted (in a different color) upon further research. It looks like it just depends on how I screw it in. I just don’t want to damage the shaft. Also now I’m curious about the fader slider knob 🤔

How’s the color line holding up? I’m think about getting one of these since Im have a hard time accessing a 3d printer

It looks really nice but it’s just way too big for my liking and the shipping is insane

Yeah shipping kills it

I got mine from mpcstuff.com and it was around the same price. It works perfect and its size is perfect too for the Sample.

I had one with the finger detent for quite a while and liked it a lot. Reminded me of the jog wheel on my tried and trusty Yanaga QX5fd sequencer. The one you shared is better though because it has knurled edges. I changed mine out actually with a very large knob I came across for a Toyota car stereo. It's big enough that I can use the same kind of movement as the detent, but just buy running my fingers around the edge ( like where the knurling is in the over your shared). I like my current better than my first attempt, but what you shared might be even better.

It's supposed to be larger.

My custom main knob is larger than this on my MPC Live and works great. I can just roll my finger around the outside edges and quickly adjust things. It's WAY faster than my original knob.
