How to use black drum as color drum for MPC28/33/40/5000

[zyqwiz]

Yes - MPC2800/3300/4000/5000 drums need 2 wires swapping on the PCU plug. If you are looking at the plug with the wires going off the the left and the small tags that hold the pins in towards you, then swap the bottom 2 pins.

No wonder I was never called back after changing the Magenta PCU, it was a MP2500, hehehe. Daniel Jokinen is right, you do need to change the two wires, just done it on a 33 so here´s my correction.

Hi,

I think that in PCU you only need to modify the corner and it's work fine.

Wrong - wires need swapping too

For the US versions, there's no pin swapping needed, just hack off the corner of the black one and put it in as a color, works like a champ.

Lol just to clarify ???

The MPC2500 wires don’t need swopped but
The MPC2800/3300/4000/4500 does for Europe but not for the U.S.

can any1 confirm this

Yes, that is correct Peanut.

The MPC2000 / 2500 / 3000 / 3500 / 4500 does not need to be swopped.
The MPC2800 / 3300 / 4000 / 5000 does need to be swopped for EU but not for US.

just a quick one, for Australia, is the proceedure for this mod the same as the US or UK? Or neither?
