THE GUY AT THE MUSIC STORE WAS LOADING UP THE ONBOARD DRUM KITS AND IT TOOK FOR EVER..... DOES THE NEW OS FIX THIS... OR HAS ANYONE HAD PROBLEMS WAITING FOR THE 4000 TO LOAD. IT KINDA SEAMED LIKE IT TOOK AWHILE TO PROCESS STUFF.......   I AM SURE IT WAS THE FIRST OS AND THE GUY AT THE STORE WAS CLUELESS......  TO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE THE SALE TELLING ME THINGS I'VE ALREADY RESEARCHED....I THINK HE JUST MEMORIZED THE SPECS CARD ON THE BOX.

        HEY TUTOR.... WOULD YOU BUY THE MPC4000??? JUST WONDERING YOUR THOUGHTS???????

He was probably loading up the entire Drum folder on the Akai Pro CD that comes with the 4000.  There is a ton of stuff on that disk- at least 35 drum programs on that disk alone.  Believe me, the 4000 loads much faster (10 times?) than the 2000xl.  Even if the 2000xl could load 35 drum programs and all the samples with them, it would take all day.[/color]
