I have been working with my live, rytm and sound designing with my mpc 4000 retired a bit in the case. Great tracks and enjoy the MPC X how do you feel about it compared to your 4k? I like the live for the audio tracks, and the time stretching though I have to do some menu diving. I believe the MPC X is more like the 4k with dedicated buttons, qlinks, and inputs and outputs.
I sold my mpc4000 many, many years ago. As a matter of fact, I sold all my hardware. Except for the roland VP9000 variphrase sampler and a couple of rack vocoders and efx racks. MPC X is the first hardware I purchase, since the mpc5000. Now I'm surround with controllers in my little studio. You remember back in the days, when every piece of new gear had text book size manuals. To connect, control and sync a studio full gear. Thank God, those days are over. What a hassle.
My reason for getting the mpc x is dedicated buttons and the qlinks. Every since more qlinks was added to the mpc4000, I been a sucker for a mpc with as many qlinks, akai can throw in. My opinion the best source for time stretching or warping is simpler in ableton live. If the mpc x or live had the warp marker feature in timestretching like ableton and pitch shifting for vocal samples. I will lose my mind if the pitch shifting can be played with the pads aswell as controlled with qlinks and recorded in automation. Another wish feature is instant sample edit start and end point with qlinks, recorded in the sequence as automation without affecting the sample in the program section, like I seen done in videos with the Elektron Digitakt.
