Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

hi. i currently own the MPC5000 and it will not store odd metered sequences correctly - upon powering up and loading, it either truncates the sequence if it has additional beats (say, 6/4) or fails to loop if you use 2/4, 3/4, etc.

is this a problem with the 4K? will it successfully recall something like this: 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, 6/4?

The moment I get home I am going to try this out. My songs have never had a time setting change in them. I have used different time signatures. Give me a few hours to look into this.
cheers,
Ian

man, i'd sure appreciate you doing that for me. it's literally the only thing holding me back from selling my 5K and buying a 4.

The MPC4000 does asymmetric time signatures fine.
