Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

I've been noticing a lot of windows like bugs...for instance having to close windows and open them again because sometimes the info is missing on the screens, or certain fields don't work properly. Everything on screen seems to move a lot slower too. 1.60 was a lot smoother....I'm thinking of going back to it.

I just hope the next OS is str8!

i actually like 1.70 better, i dont get that weird midi overload bug that would happen if i just playing my keyboard while browsing menus.

i know it sounds strange, but i like to **** around while im loading samples or sumpin.

I'm sticking with it!!,

I think its better than 1.6 main reason = random midi data delete bug was eating me up alive... ,

I just hope they release an OS update soon as I have a very strong feeling that 1.7 was released only to keep their word on december update,

in fact they must, q fx on record input, sometimes slow lcd, they are very well concuss of this

& Rolands timing couldn't be better, gotta give their marketing high credit ..

we know akai knows it = its just time

The thing is that there are supposed to be aksys improvements that make transferring files and such more reliable. The "funny" thing is that I never had an aksys crash while transferring files till now....it happened a few times.

Record> QFX> turn the jog weel to try to turn them From Off to ON, but it won't, nothing happens, it's just stays off,,, :?

Same here.. os 1.6 was a piece of sh*t. OS 1.7 seems to be a lot more stable.

Works here though!

I went to the Record page, pressed F4 (Q-FX), and used the dial change from OFF to COMMAND and FX. Works just fine.

I'm running a *beta* of v1.70, not the real thing. So maybe that explains it. Or maybe some other setting prevents it on your machine... 96k maybe? Or digital input? Dunno.

I just experimented a little. Q-FQ cannot be switched on when using the MAIN OUTs and the record input source (resampling).

Maybe that's what's happening at your place?

I never knew that, I'll cheek that out, been working on the same remix for a long time and its been set on main outs ever since I started 1.7,
hmmm..getting a manual is starting to look like a great idea.. :)
