Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hey guys just a quick question. Is there a way to create a keygroup program or something of that nature where the pads aren't chromatic but various scales? I don't mind saving a bunch even if tedious.

Also along those lines having single pads output various chords either output midi or just polyphonic based on a sample.

Just looking at ways to quicken working. Thanks

Wouldn't you just use chromatic mode and tune each separate sample to your liking?


Possible alternative: Reference Manual, page 226?
"Specifying the temperament of a program (Key group programs)
Here’s how you can create your own original temperament for a program to use.
1. Select the program for which you want to create a temperament, and access the
MISC. page.
You can also select a program in the Program field of the MISC. page.
2. Move the cursor to the Scale field, and press the [WINDOW] key.
The Program Scale popup window will appear."

Hmm I'll check that out. I swear randomly hitting the window key on stuff can find some great things hidden away in there. Learn something new every day.
