Hello
I've gotta be crazy right, to still want an Akai MPC4000 in the year 2018?!
I mean, come on, this thing came out over 15 years ago?
Thing is, I've used either an MPC2000 or MPC2000xl for years (depending on project and studio) and I love the sequencer and the workflow. On top of that I still use an Akai S3000 as a ROMpler.
Seems to me like the MPC4000 is so much Akai all in one box
So why wouldn't I get an MPC5000 instead or an MPC2500 with JJOS or an MPC Live even?
It just seems to me that they hit a sweet spot with the MPC4000 ... or am I just tripping?

- MPC workflow with grid and piano roll edit as a bonus
- Z-series sampler compatible with my existing library
- Improved connectivity and compatibility with modern computers (USB, IDE, plug in a keyboard, .wavs etc)
- Can sample during playback and loads of other features over earlier models
- Etc etc
