just wanted to know if anyone here still uses this os?
i just got a new 4k with this version and seems pretty solid wasnt sure if i should update it or not to current version?
only prob so far that i noticed ,im not able to see 16 level tuning like the latest os.

16 levels function alone would be enough for me to answer that question. I don't understand why you wouldn't anyways? It's kind of a no brainer if you ask me.

The 4k was a joke when it first dropped.

I couldn't find a review at the time that didn't mention serious shortcomings or persistent crashes.

funny how this works and look at it now, it's classic beast mpc...while all the current models are made of shit...so maybe 10yrs from now we will be praising all the current line up including 5k :mrgreen: :lol:

have your read everything the 5k's sequencer can do?! as of version 2 of the os we should be praising it.

the only thing that i could justify my 4k purchase with was 24bit/96khz but i'm having a hell of a time finding any soundbanks of that quality.
