HELP ME

Try this...

Since the 4k has the ability to use ak.sys, why not perfect your loop in a program such as soundforge, audacity or whatever you like to use, then import it back to the 4k.

I'd say try it. You might not go back to doing things the way you use to.

That's how i been working round it so far but wanted to do everything 'internally'

To me, that's like taking a step backwards. And like feline stated, apparently the algorithm for that process doesn't work so good.

I'd stay away from something that doesn't work as it was intended to. But that's just one process that shouldn't hold you back from fullfiling what it is you're after anyway.

Plenty of other tools to get the job done without any issues.

Another take on things...

In trim mode, set the sample start and end to the click so that you only hear the click when you play a pad. Press edit and go up to Re Scale and set the db to a large negative number and press do it. This should get rid of the click, there's also a Silence selection menu under edit as well but I know the above should work. Next set the start and end points back to normal and see what happens.

sometimes i need the sample to loop without 'tailing'/decaying
I don't mean to have the a-rse but my 2000xl didn't have this problem and you'd think Akai would have got that right.

sadly having bought an MPC4000 in 2002 and spent several years trying to get Akai Unprofessional Inc to sort their act out and fix all the bugs and provide all the advertised features, I can assure you I would NOT think Akai would have got that right!
