Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000
By ericplotz1 Mon Jan 12, 2015 4:49 am
So here's the dilemma.

I loved my 4000, but unfortunately had to let it go about a year ago. Thing is I made some music that I now want to access.

I saved the entire program files (AKP), samples, and sequences to folders. Are there any programs, softwares, or apps that I can possibly load these with?

Or is getting another 4000 the only option I have?

Tried looking for someone to just rent or pay to track. Fruitless venture.

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers

Getting another 4k would give the best result.

The MPC Ren and Studio's software can open, and in most cases, all the MPC files and put your tracks in a mostly recoverable format. (You WILL have to recover your pitch and programming setting manually. Minor inconvenience, but is easy if you had a 4k around to use as the guide.) This leads me back to solution 1...
