What Software works best with the 4000.

Well im saving tons of money and I have had soem MPC experience so im just gonna go for the gold and get the 4000. I also have a laptop that i got as a graduation gift I figure i might as well put it to use. Any suggestion i did indeed search and i also know its a matter of personal opinion let me know your opinions. Thanks!

Alot of people use Ableton Live 4. I've used it but I more into Nuendo. Once you follow these instruction -->>
1 start nuendo
2 go to file and choose new project then choos empty
3 select the folder you want to save your project to.
4 create a midi track
5 you will see this ( L-> ) above the little @ in the inspector (click it this L-> )
6 choose local and a large window will pop up called the input transformer.
7since this will be channel one you will set it like this
click on add line tab
click on filter target and choose (channel)
in the condition tab choose (unequal)
in the parimiter tab choose ( 1) this is going to be channe one.
where it says select module tick (1)
where it says ative module tick (1)
where it says mode pick (filter)
NOTE: you must do this to every midi channel.
the only thing that should changed is the (parameter tab)
since this was midi channel one the parameter was set to one.
midi channel 2 will have the parameter set to two and so on.
I hope you understand it...and if you do all 16 channels save it as a template so you
wont have to type it all in again.
now, on the mpc where it says track -01 change drum1 to midi.
you will notice that to the right of the word midi it says :OFF change off to 1A-device 01.
go back to nuendo and load up a midi instrument like you would normally on the first miditrack you set up..
you should (if you have your midicable set up correctly) hear the midi instrument
in nuendo while hitting the pads on the mpc.
now on the mpc change the track to track 2 and select midi and 2A-device-02
and select another midid track in nuendo with a differnt instrument and you should now have both instruments play on its
own channel indipendently..
its a bad ass setup!!!

Or you can just get VStack......

VStack is cool but its also limited. Doing what I posted above gives you all of the properties without the hassle of switching from one program to another which could cause unessesary cpu drain.

Understandable, but Nuendo is expensive and can be a bit daunting to a newbie.

most people that use nuendo, have' not paid for it, as it is widely available as warez

True indeed......

Hey,
is there any way that VST instruments can be sequenced off of the MPC4000?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! IM FVCKIN DIEING OVER HERE!!!!
man go read the first post i made in this thread or go buy Ableton live

I wrote that post in this thread because it has to do with the topic. Now if im not mistaken, what u explained at the beginning of this thread is how to trigger vst instruments using the mpc, but it is not how you would use the onboard sequencer on the mpc. That is what i am looking for, how to trigger vst instruments using the sequencer on the mpc. no need to get all retarded, no need for hard ons.

yes that coves that as well. lets use some logic here. if what I posted above tells you how to trigger a vst then why wouldnt you be able to sequence a vst with the mpc??? I mean thats just simple midi right there. but its cool
