MPC 4000 Jog/Data wheel direction

Hi all,

I just received my first MPC via UPS today, a MPC-4000 that I bought off of Ebay. needless to say I'm pretty excited and have been playing/learning it non-stop since.

I've got a question about the Jogwheel/Datawheel. On mine, regardless of whether it's spun clockwise or counter clockwise it always increases the value of the parameter being edited and I can't figure out how to decrease parameters. Is there a setting or preference that I can change to allow counter clockwise to decrease the value being edited? Or did I just buy a slightly defective MPC?

Cheers!

Sounds like you've bought a defective unit, or one that just needs a replacement jog wheel.

Crap

Don't give up.

I assume this is the part you need...

I hope so, just have to figure out if indeed that is what I need and if I can find directions for installing it.

Thank you very much!

email the guy at mpcstuff.com he'll sort you out. his name is michael.

You guys sure it needs replacing? I have the same problem , it worked just fine yesterday but now when the jog wheel spins in either direction it only increases the value....

sure it's not a setting you can change ? ive heard of wheel settings on other mpc's but i wouldnt know.

Let me know

The jogwheel encoder is an item that will fail on the 4000 guaranteed ! (When being used frequently that is ….)
Kinda like the display that will also start to have missing lines and fail eventually.

There is no other option than to replace it which isnt that hard, did it myself years ago.

Really nice MPC thats build like a tank apart from the crap factory encoder and the LCD display.
