Also, how do u increase its harddrive space?


How much space does the regular 4k come with?



That's all for now, but I'll probly have more later.

Any help appreciated, thanks.


1. There are now 3 models of MPC4000 available in the US:
* MPC4000plus: 272MB RAM, 80GB HD, CD-RW, IB-4D
* MPC4000 Studio A: same a MPC4000plus, plus IB-48P (8 extra analog outputs)
* MPC4000 Studio D: same a MPC4000plus, plus IB-4ADT (8-channel ADAT digital inputs/outputs)
In Europe the cheapest version is equipped with just 16MB RAM, no CD/RW or IB-4D (I dunno if that's the deal anymore though). The older one (both Europe and USA) had 20GB or 30GB HD as standard.

To sum it all up...there is no regular 4k anymore.

2. You just change HD, shouldn't be too hard or expensive. I haven't done it (satisfied w 30GB) but someone prolly has and can add something?
