converted 4000 programs will contain Modulation Matrix info?

According to Akai info from NAMM, they are indicating that I can use my MPC 4000 programs on the
MPC 5000. Does that include full support for Modulation Matrix, Multi's and Q-Link sequences?

Probably still won't handle my 256M RAM Piano program that came with the 4000 though.. i'm guessing?




Thanks,
Dave

Everyone received the same information you received which is located at http://www.akaipro.com/spotmpcos2.

In Summary:
1. MPC 5000 shipped with Never-before-seen MPC advancements such as a virtual-analog synthesizer, a streaming hard disc recorder, incomparably high-resolution sequencing, and over 100 other new capabilities
2. OS2.0 adds 25 additional improvements (which all has not been revealed yet):
a. Create and load keygroups w/ massive array of keygroup parameters
b. Panning of sample layers
c. Keygroup select via MIDI (or Shift + Pad)
d. Keygroup range select via MIDI
e. Root note assign for each sample layer
f. Import S1000, S3000, S5000/S6000, Z4/Z8, and MPC4000 format sample libraries
g. Multi Edit Function (for global program editing of one or more pads)
h. Controller Grid Edit
i. Zoom function for individual slices
j. Trim Mode - Shift + Pad assigns displayed sample to pad
k. Take over mode for knobs/sliders
l. Audio track/Sequencer track mixer toggle
m. Track and pad mute quantize
n. Supports FULL automation of mixer and effects

Yeah, I was wondering too if they're using some sort of compression scheme in order to load large libraries and what not.

Dabs... are you converting?

I don't think he will convert. They are obviously hanging onto the MPC 4000 because it has more than 2x the memory of the MPC 5000 and has a modulation matrix. But he (they) are overlooking dozens of other features that the MPC 5000 offers.

All of those MPC 4000 specifc features are found in one of these:


Since the Z4/Z8 is identical to the MPC 4000 sampler section, picking up one of these cheap samplers and connecting it to an MPC 5000 is the best way to go.

Nah man, Jahrome pretty much hit it on the head. I think my funds will go into a '08 Corvette this go round (first year they're sporting that 6.2 liter V8). Been shopping for one lately since the value of gear depreciates very rapidly these days and a vette def holds more value.

I'm waiting on some funds to come through and want them to go towards purchasing this car. I'm getting older now and the fire to get the latest and greatest ain't quite there anymore.

Now I'm not totally going cold turkey on gear purchasing, just wanna grab this ride before spring gets here.

Naw....you need to sell both of your MPC 4000s. You will have enough money to buy an MPC 5000 and Z-4/Z-8. You should have enough money left to buy a software sampler that can load giga pianos..something no MPC or hardware sample can load.

With the exception of the MPC 5000 OS2.0, nothing at Namm really excited me. So I guess I will pull the trigger and get one of the Receptors.

Keep your 4000 the 5000 is not an upgrade.

I agree that we all go the same info. Here is what Akai has stated:
**
f. Import S1000, S3000, S5000/S6000, Z4/Z8, and MPC4000 format sample libraries
**

So the MPC 4000 format sample library, is a Program based format, that includes Program Modulation Matrix. So I was
trying to get somebody with a 5000 to confirm that they did correctly and FULLY implement importing of 4000 libraries..

I don't know about your statement above. Skipping the 5000 and using the 4000 sounds like the Best way to go. I'll keep watching the 5000 and when Akai steps up to the plate, then I'll buy. Until then, I'm on the watch....

In 2 years, maybe the current Akai programming team will develop enough skill to implement a Modulation Matrix.


Cheers,
Dave

All the confusion is because the 5000 is an improved version of the younger 2500, not of the older 4000.
So it's basically a "new" 3500, and in some areas more up to date than the 4000, but finally not as complex.
Keep this in mind, and you are glad with the 5000. It's a great machine!!

David,

Why are you asking forum members about specifc details about an OS they haven't loaded yet? You will have to wait like everyone else. Enjoy your MPC 4000.

Following is posted by jahrome aka askia shaheed, over at futureproducers.com




You have had yours for a while, no?

Yes. I purchased my MPC 5000 as soon as it hit the streets in the US. You can do the same.

Akai has released official info on the MPC 5000. This is all the information you are going to receive until they decide otherwise.

why the **** was the link to the thread removed?

you cats are worse than these american politicians, no lie.

ay jahrome, don't PM me over bullshit. learn to answer a simple question. **** akai reps are WORSE than trolls.

You were asked nicely to not bring BS from another forum in here. http://www.akaipro.com and http://www.sonicstate.com has information on OS2.0. You will have to wait until it is officially released to get more information....perhaps.
