Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hi.. i am planning to buy a 4000 on a very short notice of time. I would like to do most production within the machine, and therefore i am wondering what the FX sounds like. Anyone prepared to make some examples and upload them..? i got some decent webspace..

The filters work fine. The effects suck.
We are all waiting patiently for them to be fixed.

It would be great if they were usable.
If I want to mangle a sample I use FL or Kontakt

I know some have issues with their 4000.
The effects section is the only thing I dislike about this machine.

Once you melt with your machine(learn how to get around)
You will be in production heaven.

Picked mine up yesterday.. 2nd hand.. very good and clean condition. Fontunately i had an S3000XL.. so most things are not new to me. Yesterday i was able to produce a beat within 10 minutes, and i have never put my hands on this machine before. Today i will start and read the manual. Out. :)
