I just got back from the store to pick up a USB keyboard for my 4k. I was a little bit worried, thinking it may not work, non compatible drivers or something , I dunno. To make a long story short, it work, and it works amazing! For all of you who do not have a keyboard for typing, I suggest you go buy one right now! This shat is crazy, I love it! Before I actually wasn't to keep on sampling from records and chopping them up and renaming them ie FunkRecord 1-slice1 . And I didn't want to go with the default naming ie. Sample1 because then I do not know what is what, and using that jog wheel to type in letters takes forever, so I didn't do much of that, which is a shame because sampling records is fun as hell if the workflow is fast and consistent. I didn't realize how big an impact this keyboard would make, I truly underestimated it. It really is that great. I will be sampling vinyl , CDs, and Cassettes into the wee mourning hours tonight :) Please do yourself a favor and buy one, it only cost 19.99. I love this machine, everyday I find some little awesome thing that makes me love it even more. Odyle Rules, and so does the 4k baby!

Alright tom,

We get your excitement and enthusiasm about the 4000, but we know all this stuff already.

We don't need another thread from you everytime you 'discover' old features.

Sit back, and enjoy getting up to speed.
