Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000
By gordongecko23 Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:46 pm
is there anyway to make the default for samples loaded inot the 4000's memory to be set as one shots? it is so annoying to have to go in and change every single drum sound.

or maybe u have to load them up set them as one shots and then resave them?

maybe someone out there can help. thanks.

yeah, you just need to set them to one-shot one time. Save the pgm, with samples and next time you load the kit it will be set up for you.

aslo u can select ALL ADD or ONE pad to edit, so if you flip it to ALL (program edit1/2) and switch to one shot for one of the pads and ALL the pads for that program will be one-shot

I use to not really use this feature, but now I'm use it all the time

or yhea save a empty program with all your personilized settings, set it up in startup (so in loads up everytime you power on) and then just make emty copies of that program in memory, but do cheek out the ALL ADD ONE edit modes, once you start utilizing this feature you'll wonder how you did without it...

Thanks glide, i was having that same problem that gordongecko23 was having but, never looked into a solution. I was using aKsys to change all of my samples to ONE SHOT, you just made things more comfortable for me. Mucho gracias muchacho!
