4000 users have you jumped ship with all the new toys?

Stop trying to be helpful, I need everyone to see that the 4000 is a terrible machine so they can sell them off to me for $150 each.

The 4k is a high risk purchase for anyone unexperienced with the machine
It‘s too complex for a quick check at the location, let alone bought online.
I picked up mine at the seller, it looked good and „worked“.

At home all digital connections were dead, not just the Adat but also CD and s/pdif.
Needed a complete disassembly, memory sockets were loose, too.
Then I detected pad sensitivity was way too low, needed new pad sensors, another disassembly, shipping parts from the US. Fiddling with the display ribbon broke an opamp on the display board and killed the background light inverter.

I enjoyed my lesson (kind of techno maso ?) but if you have to pay for all that sh*t you‘re screwed. And still sit on a >20 year time bomb.
Btw it‘s fan is loud as a hoover and a full strategic misplace

Finally someone with common sense shares valuable information !

When I had a MPC X I had friends and ladies loved to be around me....

When I got a 4k my cat ran away. The fan set off the fire alarm... And now I got an eviction notice....stay away from the MPC 4000!!!
