Congrats on making the decision to come back.

Just to let you know, VST has a 4K listed in their used gear section for $1,900. Expensive, but you might be able to get some sort of warranty coverage from them.

i c..i was just wondering why the 4 and not the 2500 or the 5..
but if the 4000 was the only one you owned besides the 60 then i guess that dont help..

im looking to switch from 2500 to 4 or 5.
but i would like some input first..
well sorry to bomb ur thread and like dude above said...welcome back!!!

it is a tough choice.

I have been second guessing myself for a few hours now.

The 5000 seems like a better choice.
and the 5000 will read and play all my old 4000 joints

the 4000 will become a boutique piece in the future.
as it was the only machine to offer 24bit sampling

^^nice,i did not know that..
im reallt lookin at the 5..but somewhere i seen that it was really only a 3500 that they later called the 5...but if it was a 3500 howcome it offers more than the 4..in terms of nv sliders and rotary dials?...im hella confused and i love my 2500,,but then again i love both my xl's and my 500..id probably love any mpc in 1 way or another :lol: ..well let us know what u decide on.

I also got 2 4k's
one for the studio and one for on the road!
Got a 60,3000,2000 and 1000 next to the 4k
but the 4k gets used the most (the 1000 just keeps collecting dust)

Why would anyone with a 4000 and a sh!tty VA synth (not to mention a good synth) want a 3500 ?

4000 feels and sounds a lot better IMO...matter of fact I think any of the classic MPCs feel a lot better than current models.

5000 = 2500XL

OS updates is one thing to consider when choosing between 4000 and nukai stuff

It is settled.

I slept on the issue.


I am going to get two mpc4000's.

I will then send one to forat to be custom chrome plated.

When I get the first one back from forat, I will then send the number two in.


I have about 15 gigs of samples in mpc4000 format.
I think I tossed out all my beats though.
