Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

I'm gettin hold of a 4000 soon. Cant wait man!! Just need a bit of help from any of ya that have xperienced it. I already have a 2000 which is my central sequencer. All my tunes are written entirely on it (built up in seq mode and then arranged in song mode), and then saved via scsi to a 250meg zip disk (APS & ALL files). Will i be able to load these tunes from the 2000 onto the 4000? A reason 4 getting the 4000 was so i'd b able 2 use its new features 2 polish up my old 2000 tunes. Also been reading bout the OS bugs. How often do akai update it? Cheers man![/color]

Load em up....no problem.  Actually I'm not sure about Songs, but definitely Sequences and Programs.  Not sure when the next OS upgrade will come, but the rumor I heard was 'Arround X-mas' which probably means mid January.[/color]

I have been copying some tunes from a friends 2000, I used his zipdrive 250 to load them into my 4k np.

I have to redo the mixer automation as I have a Behringher and he has a Yamaha. Other than that it was a piece of p*ss and everything I have checked is A OK...
