Yes. There are two slots inside of your MPC 4000 where you can install memory. You'll need to purchase 2 of those 256mb memory chips, to bring your MPC's onboard memory to 512mb. No one sells or makes a 512mb memory chip for the MPC 4000 and 4 All Memory just stopped selling the 64mb & the 128mb chips this past weekend. I guess they realized that no one will use those.

ohh ok
thanx

is it difficult to install itmy self?
how much would akai charge to install it for me?

It should be an easy task. There isn't much under the hood of the 4000 so, if you've ever installed memory into yours or any other computer, this should be something familiar to you. If you haven't, refer to your manual for the proper instructions. The hardest part of all this is lifting the 4000's top which isn't hard at all. It pops open like the hood of a car after you've unfastened the screws. I don't know how much Akai would charge you to do this or how long it would take for you to get your 4000 back from them after you sent it to them, i wouldn't recommend it. It could be the middle of the year before you got it back. I'd go to Forat before i did that, or couldn't do it myself.

thnx alot bruv
man ive been at the forat page, but problem is, iam in london. i wanna all upgrade my mpc and getit dun up all special but dont know where to go. ill find out though.
one way or the otha.

One alternative method. Put the turntable through the MPC preamp and play the audio out to the computer. I record the output in SoundForge and cut out the piece I want, then send it back to the MPC. You can record for hours on the computer.
