I know that there is a test mode for the knobs, sliders, pads, and most of the buttons. To enter the test mode press Global, then press Shift+global.

Certain functions intentionally hidden in a piece of software (an example, the 4000 OS). The software writers know it's there, but you have to find it out for yourself.

Interesting useless knowledge of the day:

The term "Easter Egg" was actually coined in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ongoing in the film an easter egg hunt takes place and no one finds any eggs. But the eggs are shown many times on camera throughout the film.

Oh yeah, that screen!

Diagnostic detail and such... I have used it a complete total of twice.

Once, the day I picked up my 4k from the seller, just to be sure the pads weren't shot. The guy I bought it from didn't even know about it, but the kid does his homework BEFORE spending his hard earned chips.

(Lesson for you Ren Users)

And the day I installed my FatPads.

More on the MPC4000.
If you hit Shift+Global in the other pages of the Global Mode (Not just page 1)
There are other test pages. There is some pretty deep stuff. You can even test your hard drive.

I forgot how to flip through pages, what exactly is the way to do that… :hmmm:
