MPC4000's filters...

If someone asked this before just bypass this post....but does the MPC4000 have 3 filters(Low pass, band pass & Hi pass) like the MPC1000 does?

Hi, Not an owner myself but I know its got loads of filters.. Lp 2/4 pole, highpass 2/4 pole , bandpass, notch, multi-filters etc...
loads..
apparently also very good sounding for digital filters..

are the filters that you spoke of a factory standard when you purchase one or is that something that I would have to get put in.....

everything is standard, except for the extra audio in and outs, cd-rom, memory, hd

And Now....... the Real Answer :


the MPC4000 has "three" 2-pole resonant filters PER VOICE,
but they're always configured as a single filter unit,
so in that sense, it only has ONE filter PER VOICE.
(Polyphony - the number of voices - is 64..... so technically,
that's 3 x 64 software filters inside...... just image what
that would be like done in analogue electronics )

The key is the way they are "configured" together -
what you see in the user interface is just a choice of about 30-odd different filter "types"

eg "6 pole lo-pass" (which means that you really have 3 x 2-pole lo pass in series tuned to the same thing),
or "triple", where you have the three of them side-by-side in parallel

You can read about all this in the user manual, downloadable on Akai's site...

Thanks for the info...it looks like I wanna get an MPC4000 instead of a 1000.
