MPC4000 AND Z4 Samplers

Hey there,

I have 3 Z4's out fitted with the adat option. Currently I sequence with an MPC1000. I don't like using Akai sys to edit and the front panel on the Z4 can make things difficult. My question is; can I use the 4000 to make programs that will load into my Z4's?

why don't you try it and see?

You're probably the only person in the world with 3 Z4's hooked up to an MPC4000!

I don't have the 4000 yet. I do plan on getting one soon. I just want to know if i can transfer a program made on the 4000 to a Z4.

well I think you could originally.
But as Akai Unprofessional junked the Z-series machines earlier than the MPC4000, the programs created by later MPC4000 OS revisions may not be so compatible...
Akai support ought to be able to give you and a answer, but they won't be able to, cos they're crap.

The MPC4000's programs load in the Z8 perfectly, for what it's worth

Thanks! What OS are you running on the 4K? Z4?
