Well ah,I have been spending the last 2 months trying enjoy my new toy...the mpc 4000.Sadly I must say I am deeply disapointed.The sampling capabilities are nothing special compared to ensoniqs ASR 10 or ASR X capabilities which I grew up with.The effects in this so called flagship must be the worst I have ever tryed to use,with low output level or distortion before you even notice some kind of effect-ivity.Ok I must admit the seqencer is tight and pretty straight forward and the sound is powerful and punchy but all in all,2000 euros seem a bit to much for a good sounding sequencer.If youre just chopping up beats and you're a hard core mpc fan than you would probably be happy.
Things get worse when you buy this machine and realize that you cant audition samples from disk before loading,as advertised,and with the optional cd burner you cant even burn audio music,just files of songs and data.Customer support is as weak as it gets and after being one year on the market,the updates are not getting any better.
Its like being a test driver for a product which has an unclear future,I hate this approach and I am going to sell it asap.
The roland mv8000 seems like a much more up to date kind of approach and will consider a test drive.
