Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Yeah, I'd like to know about this too. :)

I'm considering buying an older cheap laptop just to dedicate to the MPC 4000 for Aksys.

Well I haven't tried using Aksys with Snow Leopard because my MacBook Pro was stolen before I had the chance.

The latest version of Aksys for Mac is V2.61, this is compatible with Mac OSX.

I'd hazard a guess and suggest that as Snow Leopard is designed to run on Intel-based Mac's only, it would be no surprise to discover that Aksys will not function as intended (if at all) on Apple's latest OS like many older OSX specific programs.

Cop a cheap Mac that runs OSX and be done with it.

Well like I said.

If you want Aksys to work flawlessly, use a compatible OS.

Where's the problem?

Well Aksys is a cool tool, but you can easily get by on a 4000 without using it.

No computer required, remember...

I kind of got use to storing all my sounds and files on a computer. My laptop has 10.5 and that works flawlessly with aksys, it doesn't work on 10.6 that well. You can load sounds and files from the computer to the mpc but you can't go from the mpc back to the computer.
