just curious cuz i am planning on buying this here soon. I was wondering if the 4000 had the bugs worked out in the os? i have a 2000 now i want to upgrade and have 2 for the studio incase one craps out on me i wont be forced back into the FL world
If it's fully maxed-out, it's really not too outdated at all in my opinion. Especially compared to a 2000. I know plenty of cats who are still totally in love with their 4000s.
Alternatively, I would suggest looking into the Roland MV as well.
Listen to Xabiton. Besides, an older machine doesn't prevent you from making music in a much more modern style. Not to mention the fact people still dig that old school type a music, so it's still all technically relevant even to this day ya'll. Whether you like it or not, Xabi is right.
MPCs are not outdated and far from it. Its preference if u want to make ur beats using a piece of hardware than so be it. If u want to make ur beats using software so be it.
naw man hardware really is outdated lol. theres a reason why companies don't make new hardware anymore. in the next few years I expect akai to make something similar to machine with an mpc style interface. People have stopped buying Tritons and Motifs and Fantoms ect and instead buy software romplers because u can get more sounds and they are more expandable. I think software romplers are superior in a lot of ways. I don't like tweaking software samplers though. i am trying to get myself to become a software sampler fan but I dont see it happening anytime soon. And I am not selling my Mpc.
