To start off I'd like to say thank god for this site. I found this site by accident, but I have been looking for a place that I could find information on the MPC 4000. Akai doesn't seem to have many FAQ on their site. I'm in the Air Force stationed in Japan, so I can't run out to my local dealer if I have questions. I recently purchased the MPC 4000 here in Japan. I installed a 80 gigabyte harddrive and a cd burner in it. I previously owned an MPC 2000xl so I kind of know how to use the 4000 but I have trouble with the time stretch function. Is there some kind of mathmatical equation to figure out how long to stretch the sound or does the 4000 do all of that for you? Also, where is the best place to order patches that have programs and sounds already mapped to the pads? Last but not least, can someone help me with RAM. I can find PC 100, 128mb sticks that the 4000 will recognize, but I can't find 256 mb sticks that it will recognize. Every time I go to a computer shop they don't understand the specs that Akai gives on their site. I know you can purchase it from their site, but I don't want to spend $165 on two sticks of RAM. Sorry this is so long, but I'm just happy to find a place where I can some info.
