  Caratteristiche

  The MPC 4000 is one of the most advanced MPC on the market that AKAI makes. The differences between this unit and some of the other units by Akai (1000, 2000,) is that it has a much nicer feel to it. The pads especially have a much softer feel to them. It just feels like they are made out of better material. The MPC 4000’s design kind of stepped out of the box from the ordinary MPC line. Its def. a different color than the other MPC’s. It also has a built in synth module so you can start to work on creating some synth lines or base lines right on the machine and have no need for another unit to create those.

  Facilità d'uso

  The manual is key to understanding this unit, its hard for anyone jus to sit down and understand it. Even if you are coming from other MPC models. This one is tough, they put all the bells and whistles into the MPC 4000.

  Suono

  The sounds on the MPC 4000 arent much different than the most of the stock sounds that come on all of the mpc models. You will need to change you kits to your own once you purchase the MPC 4000! As far as the built in synth module. I am not a fan of it, it really doesn’t do that much for me. I would rather just use my Phantom for synths and baselines. Akai tried to create a unit that could do a little bit of everything . But I feel like they fell short because unless you are into sound creation you wont want to go through the process of creating these sounds. Most of us like using keyboard presets and tweaking them to our liking. Akai really doesn’t give you many presets (if any) to work with.

  Opzioni Generali

  Overall, it’s a very powerful unit. All of the MPC’s are! But this on is very expensive, you can a good keyboard workstation that you can sample on and do almost everything the MPC 4000 can. But die hard MPC users love the MPC and wouldn’t trade it for anything. But in my opinion you can go with the cheaper MPC models and get a keyboard or rack for under the price of this 1 unit. Its worth it if you have all the money sitting around, but you can get way more for your money!

  Caratteristiche

  The MPC 4000 is a great machine, Akai has provided us with the MPC line for many years and I don’t feel like it will ever stop no matter how digital the music industry gets. The only thing I hated was that the manual made you dumb! After the first few pages after the contents, it seemed impossible to put what it said into action. Akai over complicated the manual! I love my mpc, but they may as well sell you a helmet or first class tickets on a short bus with this manual!

  Facilità d'uso

  The MPC continues in the tradition of being easy to use once you learn the machine and its method of speak. I had a history with the 2000XL so I sequenced almost right out of the box. Despite having several sequences I am still learning to maximize all of the machines applications. The manual is straight forward. I've had my unit since May '02 and, honestly I haven't read the whole thing--every time I refer to it I have no further issues and the manual ends back up on the shelf.

  Suono

  The sound quality is clear and honest--what you put in is what you get out(unless you start throwing sliders, twisting knobs, re sampling, etc. I primarily use this machine for several of the most danceable and club-friendly genres. But I plan on taking advantage of this powerhouse as a multi sampler for the orchestral sounds i need for film scoring. Yes this thing sounds that good. The effects are more than adequate but purists and/or gear heads will always prefer stand alone effects modules to those included in a sampler/synth.

  Opzioni Generali

  Overall, great machine especially if you are into hip hop you can really bang out your beats with the mpc 4000. Its built to last and looks great as well as sounds amazing. It definitely gives you that gritty 90’s feel of music when you create with it. I recommend getting this and loading up your own drums, stay away from the stock kits.

  Caratteristiche

  After being an MPC 2000 user for so long, i'm wondering how i ever worked that way. The features on this machine will definitely open any producer's mind to a new way of thinking. It's not like any other MPC and the way that it works clearly proves it. The "AkSys" program that links your computer to your MPC via USB is incredible. This program comes with the 4000 and it opens your MPC's hard drive in a really cool but simple interface... on your computer. You can choose to edit samples with a Sample Editor, create Programs, organize Keygroups and set effects parameters. It's not like the 1000 or the 2500 where your hard drive shows up like a digital camera or smart media card on your desktop... this is immediate interaction with your MPC on your computer. That's just ONE cool feature...
  
  
  
  Price paid
  
  
  
  $2,700 USD

  Facilità d'uso

  As anything that would cost this much, there's definitely a learning curve. But you've got all the forum resources in the world to get you up and running in no time... it's no excuse to not own this. Oh, and you can transfer all of your previous MPC songs and sounds to this machine effortlessly... your hard work will continue and excel to new heights.
  
  
  
  Never had to get it repaired, i've added the expansions and extra memory as well. This machine has functioned perfectly ever since i got it last year. It's built like a tank and it's not something you'd wanna lug around with you everywhere. Leave it in your studio and get busy...

  Suono

  Sound quaility is perfect. The machine doesn't color the sound you put into it and using the internal EQ can definitely improve what sound you put out of it.

  Opzioni Generali

  If something ever happened to my 4000, i'd bust my ass to save the money and buy it again twice. I can't even look at another MPC after using this one. Everytime i sit down in front of it, i feel like all of my years in equipment training are finally being challenged. I come from the days of the Akai s950... seeing the MPC technology come this far is the greatest experience i've felt next to recording good songs. The most experienced 2000/XL user who claims to know everything there is about an MPC, doesn't know anything until they've worked on one of these. People who've made the switch KNOW what i'm talking about. The 2500 is an update, this is an UPGRADE.

  Caratteristiche

  Haven't played with this machine yet, but if the features do all they say they do, than this is a beast of a machine. I have the Roland MV8000 and the features on this machine are sick. I hoping the features on this MPC4000 are just as tight or tighter because I tell everyone right now. Roland has come up with the answer to all of mpc users problems with this machine. I haven't used the sequencer on it because I build my tracks using the vga monitor so if anyone on this board has both machines like I do let me know which one they feel is the best.(MV8000 is cheaper in price and I have not heard of any defaults like I have on the 4000)
  
  
  
  Price paid: $2,700

  Facilità d'uso

  Don't know yet. Except I played with a friend of mines and it got me fustrated because I banged out beats on the 2000xl without even reading the manual. I'm a little sadden that they changed the way you can just hop on it and make a track, but if it's because of all the new features than it's a learning curve I'll deal with and I may find it to be nothing at all in the future. I say Just Blaze make a track in less than five minutes on Smack DVD, so it may not be hard at all.

  Suono

  I heard a few samples out of this thing from my friends Mpc4000 and they sound clear. If you want grime time samples then sample them grimey.

  Opzioni Generali

  I love the way its built minus the front look. Sturdy is always a plus in my book. After playing with my friends and the local Guitar Center's Mpc4000, it helped my make my choice on whether or not to buy one. I always felt like my 2000xl would bust wide open because of the cheezy hard plastic/metal frame. This 4000 looks like it can take some punishment. But I wont test it by dropping it or anything. (this thing cost too much for that)
  
  
  
  Don't know if I love it yet. Somebody call me so I can get started on this thing and I'll know if I'll love it or not. Right now I love my Roland MV8000 I just got my mpc today and I haven't even opened the box yet. Before I do, I wanna know if anyone can tell me the first thing I should do if I wanna get a sequence going. I come from the mpc2000 and 2000xl days. I played around with a friend of mines mpc4000 and it through me for a big loop. (pun intended)I've read a few reviews on this board and it seems like a few of y'all really know your 4000's. I just wanna make a few sequences to get my juices flowing and then I'll get into the real strong points of the machine.
  
  
  
  I feel like Akai makes the best sequencers. I'm old school, but not too old school to know that it never hurts to update your machines. Now if you have some machine and you've mastered it then, keep it. But if you have a machine mastered and they come out with another machine that does the same thing, but gives you more options that you may use and you can afford it, than there's nothing wrong with updating. You gotta know what you want your machines to do before you get them. Either you will do everything the machine is capable of or half of the things. Put your money into what these machines do. Don't by a sampler sequencer if all you wanna do is sequence and vice versa. I say milk these machines for everything because they're not cheap. You have to be a tech head/beat making lover to by this hardware especially with computers costing the same price if not cheaper.
  
  
  
  Me, I like sitting there bangin' beats with my fingers instead of tapping with a mouse. But it's nice to have the option to swich if needed. No ratings yet because I haven't used it. If anyone wants to give me tips on the easiest way to get started hit me up at 671-820-3660 I could read the book, but I find it easier to talk to people first and then go back to the book. Plus akai always made things harder than they needed to when reading their manuals. (Roland always had it on point)

  Caratteristiche

  The feature is new and improved. I like to say at first getting use of the new features was a pain, do to the munual that is provided with the machine. But, as you get to know the mpc4000 the new features gives you unlimited ideas to create music. No more saving to floppies is a blessing. Loading sounds and samples from the 60gig hard drive and the internal cdr burner is a breeze. The easy way of loading my work from mpc2000, by usb from ak.Sys on my pc to the mpc4000 is a good planning. Adding filter to the samples and being able to tweak them, using the Four Q-Link knobs and two sliders is impressive. Filter effects 100% better than the mpc2000. Being able to sample my sequence, blows my mind. Effect is good when it comes to sampling or resampling a sample, but falls a little weak when you trying to add for the final mix. It will been better if it was setup like the mpc2000, instead having it already preset. I am excited about, even more features when the upgrade operating system is available. I hope akai don't make a mpc4000xl and give up on the 4000, like they did with mpc2000 to 2000xl.

  Facilità d'uso

  A real learning curve at first, but once you get the hang of it, you really get to appreaciate the concept and features. Owning or knowing how the mpc2000 or the 2000XL work is a perk, because that way you have a little knowledge on what the manual is explaining. I going to sound two face, but the manual is dry in explaining somethings, because there is so many things to learn. But, to really master the mpc4000 you have to just find some time to sit back and read the whole manual. Once you get the feel of the mpc4000, skies is limit on what you can accomplish musically.
  
  
  
  To be truthful the features make you want to take the mpc4000 to any gig and blow the roof off the place. But, I trust the mpc4000 more at home or at the studio, because it more like a pc, with a hard drive, cdr drive, pentium chip and memory. I had the mpc4000 crash on me twice, as if it was windows. I never had any reason to contact the customer support and hope I never have a reason to. I give the mpc4000 a rating of 10, because I never own any electronic equipment that didn't do anything odd. The quality problems begins, when it continues to do odd things.

  Suono

  Sound is great. What you put into it is what you get back. Like I said before, the filter is excellent and you can do crazy things when controled with the Four Q-Link knobs and two sliders. Effects fall a litlle short for my taste.

  Opzioni Generali

  When I first saw the mpc4000 on the net, it was love at first site. I couldn't wait to get my hands on one. I paid $3,000 for my mpc4000 and I don't regret a single penny. My friends thanks I'm crazy for spending all that money on one gear. The machine is a power house, with a whole lot of features. Once you master the control your ideas and creativity will really shine. I got to admit, it looks damn good in my little studio. I have a mpc2000 and she my love also, but I have a new love now. I won't sell my mpc2000, because we have such a musical bond. Don't let the price throw you, get a mpc4000.

  This machine leaves no room for complaints. Everything I dreamed about when I owned a 2000XL was added to the 4000, i.e. filters, higher resolution sampling, full fledged multisampling capabilities, an intel chip!....the list goes on.

  It's crashed on me once in 7 months and I leave the unit on almost constantly. Never a need to call customer service. I don't plan on taking it to any live gigs but I will testify--I got angry (to say the least )and I tried to throw my turntable into the wall. The deck would only go as far as the rca and ground wire would let it and the turntable, refusing to let go of the turntable inputs, crashed on my MPC. After the "storm" I cleared away the wreckage to find my MPC4000 with an all white screen and some cosmetic damage. I thought it was over but all was needed was a twist of the contrast knob and that set things straight. I need a new turntable though--screwed up the tone arm. Long live my MPC 4000.

  Suono

  The sound quality is clear and honest--what you put in is what you get out(unless you start throwing sliders, twisting knobs, resampling, etc. I primarily use this machine for several of the most danceable and club-friendly genres.

  Opzioni Generali

  If my house was on fire I would make sure my wife and kids were ok and then i would risk being marred and melted to salvage my MPC. If it were stolen, I would purchase another.
