On the 2000xl, you can lock the start and end points so that when you are trimming a sample, the distance between the start and end points stays constant (the same). I've been looking for that on the 4000 but cant seem to find it. Am i overlooking this feature??? :?

cool. i want a wr426 :lol: !!! might wind up just getting a xr600/650. was thinking about a dr350 with a big bore kit, but heard about the problems with the bearing in the crank. not good at high speeds, and also that suzuki's work well as motards.

Mine was something along those lines I had sort of like a streetfighter.4 strokes are the future but as long as I can still find them and get parts for them I'm all about 2 strokes(as far as dirtbikes and quads are concerned).I've got a Banshee, and a kx 250 for the dirt and I've got a 03' GSXR 1000 for the street and strip.I am trying to buy a Ducati this winter though.Their like the ferrrari's of sportbikes.

MPC 60 with O.S. upgrade, 2 numark TTX turntables,Pioneer DJM 600 mixer,Event TR-5's at my crib and then I have 24 a day access to just about any piece of sampler or sound module that you can think of including the MPC 4000 which I so badly am trying to pusrchase.The MPC 60 was supposed to be sold but the deal fell through so I am going to Ebay it probably...Or sell it on here...

Hey, I was also wondering about the fixed trim????\


I am currently having problems with my saving the song then loading it back up. when I reload the song. ... all my samples play out. all the triming I have done is not saved. I can get around this by discarding what I have trimed out but, I really don't want to do that....

what is the deal is it something in the region...

yo retro man, if ya put tha cursor on END, the word End, not the value, ya can change it to LENGTH, TIME or BEAT

* Trim start/end points lost when copying a Looped sample. Fixed
