Litmus test results for the 4k (especially)
would be excellent. The 4k is actually my
preferred mpc,

My gut feeling anyway is the 4k is very tight.
Hard
to tell on YT tube videos but a couple of things I have
heard do seem to ooze the karma

I made a beat the other day that was so tight..that it'll make a fool dance walking on a tight rope. 4000 is the best MPC ever...IMHO.

Just look at Havoc..He swore by the MPC 3000..

Til he got the MPC 4000 in his life..

Neither of those videos give any idea whatsoever about how tight the MPCs internal clock is. Think about it. How can sampled loops tell me how tight the sequencer is. Even the most sloppy sequencer on the planet could pass if all its doing is triggering a few notes here and there once every bar or half bar.

The real test is when no loops are used and the sequencer is triggering every single drum, bass note, synth individually.

LOL that wasn't a LT.. Jut trying to show how the 4k converted a devout 3k believer..that is all.

Continue on.....

Could someone with an MPC4k please do me a favour which wouldnt take long.

Simply:
Sequence up a sound with a very fast attack such as a metronome sound or a rim shot @ 120bpm - hard quantised for 8 bars @ quarter notes. Record the file directly from your MPCs stereo out puts in to your daw, do not edit the wave file in any way. Then send me the wav file



So to recap
Record 8 bars @ 120 bpm quarter notes EXACTLY (4 beats in the bar). Dont forget to hard Quantise
Use a sound with a fast attack
Record file in to your daw
Do not edit the wav file in any way
Send it to me in wav format. Do not convert to MP3


Im also going to post the same request on the MPC 5000 section as I want to run a test on the MPC5k as well.

Anyone willing to do this for me?

^^i'll do it. is recording to audacity okay? and exactly what is considered 'hard quantizing'? like what setting in particular are you looking for ? let me know and i'll give it a shot. i can't believe nobody else is taking you up on this? i'll rep for the 4000!

I always had a strong feeling the 4k could groove like the best of them so I just went and got my self one of them.

So, obviously the first thing I have done is the Litmus.

Maximum variation between any two consecutive quarter note intervals:4 Samples

Yes, that's right folks a blazingly cool, karma filling, groove injecting 4 SAMPLES!

Making the 4k share the title along with the MPC3k of the tightest hardware drum machine on the planet (thats been tested I should add). Its exactly the same variation as the 3k.

Its fine that some of you are not interested. But for me it leaves me no excuses if I cant get the groove on.

Edit:

For anyone in the future looking for info on this I thought it best to post the actual numbers. If anyone wishes to recieve the wav test file please PM me or leave a message here.

Each number represents a quarter note. As you can see the 4k has a superb internal clock
