Is MPC 4000 Right for Me? Considering Purchasing one

ByIsaacstory Mon Aug 25, 2003 5:14 pm
I was hoping someone could explain the advantages or shortcomings of an MPC 4000 for the following application:
My band will be using it on the road.
We will be recording audio tracks on to protools.
WE are looking for a device that can support those Wav Tracks and that can simultaneously sequence a midi performance on two different keyboards.

if it is just 2 keyboards I would get the mpc 2000. It seems like you dont want to use the advacned sampling of the Z engine, so the regualr mpc would be the best choice it seems to me.

I guess it would depend on how big these wavs are he's talking? 32 mb is weak compared to 512 virtual wave memory and the soon to be implemented virtual sample streaming. hmmm 32 mb or 60 gigs?
