Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Hey.
When I first started with MPC 1000 and found this site I had some previous experience, but none of that technical shit really. I was doing all by myself with help from my friend. I was starting my journey with hardware with MPC 1K and I started to read about other models when I've noticed the differences between 1K and 2Kxl. After 3 months of research I've bought MPC 4000 in rush, 'cus I had opportunity to get it and I've used it. I think because it recives positive feedback and a lot of people here talk that they would like to own one. Another reason is that it has a lot of options and I've decided I could benefit it, I'm lazy but my curiosity leads me to questions and that leads me to find answers and answers leads me to more questions and I keep on working. :lol:
Talking about MPC 4000 is flagship and making it look like it's the best sometimes have disasterous influence on newbies who thinks hardware will make music for them. It's best for me and many people who own them and know what it can do for us, but it's not for all. There is no such a thing like perfect in this world, so here is a thread where you can cry about your MPC 4000 and say what you don't like about it. What features you would like to see in it? In comparision to other MPC or Roland MV what is the feature you miss?
Just don't talk about bugs 'cus nobody likes it. I rly love my 4K, hope you get my point.

I have a MV8k and never even touched a 4K.

I still prefer the 4k over the MV.

-Q-Links that effect one sound at a time instead of the whole program.

-960 resolution

-Quick FX resampling.

-Ability to use USB qwerty keyboards for naming.
