Anyone needing to upgrade their s/w to 1.71 will need to extract the zip file and save it to a usb flash drive or cd.

OH WAIT!

THANKS Francophon!!!


go to> http://www.akaipro.com/contentmgr/showd ... /1119/tt/5

download the mpc4000 OS Loader (mac or pc) plus the usb driver and unzip.

download the mpc 4000 operating system v.1.71 and unzip.

connect your mp to pc and open OS Loader. it will ask you to choose the os you want to load, pick the 1.71 version.

peace
