Original 4k data cd?

yo, I downloaded that file of the original, thanks alot, a few nice sounds on there, decent piano sound as well, haven't gone through it all, the demo is kinda cheesy but there are some decent sounds.....

as I get more into this monster, I realize each day how powerful it is, outside of some hardcore synth action, one could be set with this and some good samples, or sample collections......

The one I've got, vol 0b has splendid 272mb acoustic piano, also included is the lite version

Thanks for putting this up, some really good stuff in their, I liked the arp stuff as a good building block for creating my own multis. The piano is always useful.
I thought the drums were awful, how ironic on a drum sampler.
B3 was okay too.

thanks

Thanks to everyone.

I have bought a second hand MPC4000 and the hard disk is empty.

This link Http://www.breakdigger.com/mpc4000/Akaipro_Vol_0.tar is not working.

Please could anyone put a working link to download the original CD and hard disk content?

This link is obviously too old. Would someone be so kind to re-upload this?

I have both discs, I may be able to upload them later today after getting off the slave ship today! Gimmie 12hrs!

I'd be interested in these too, if you can be bothered MB.

Can you guys stomach NERO (.nrg) files???

My ISO maker (Alcohol 120%) just crapped out on me...

Hmm, I am on a Mac, not sure about the Nero file extension.
Actually a zipped folder would be fine with me. I'd eventually put the files on a drive anyway.

Edit: Just found a little freeware tool for Mac in order to extract files from a .nrg image, I guess a nero image would be fine then.

thanks for taking the time to upload the package!

Just noticed you upped it already, thx again!

Hi....
long time MPC user (going back to Linn9000, where my band-mate wrote the manual!); and my MPC4K HD finally died; replaced with SSD, but can't locate my original discs, AND the CDRs I burned years back don't appear to be readable (blame COMPUSA blank media!!!!), on anything. Sooo.... refurbing my 4K and no samples ... this would be one of those awesome things if someobdy could archive these things someplace (I use Mac and PC), so any format from Acronis, to ISO to whatever - or Nero - would be awesome. Mostly looking for the 24bit drums for the 4K.

OH: not that's it's new to most folks, but I'll post the pix of the 4K overhaul ...
so far:
* New fan, not Akai (used 3pin to 2pin power adapter, didn't have to splice - QUIET!
* New CD/DVD drive
* new CR2025 battery - good to 2022
* New SSD using adapter (quiet!)
* new pad sensor array
* changed pads to white (had gone from black to 3K Gray)
[ ] replace LCD screen (have part)
[ ] replace plastic screen cover (have part)

I have both the white orig top, and the new old stock blue cover I put on there before the one pad sensor died and HD died same time (hits 10 years old to the day... stuff dies...). I think I'm going to do the blue top with the wood end pieces to match my Forat pimped MPC3K (Lexus blue paint, mahogany wood pieces).

Anyway... trying to track down the original Akai discs for the 4K ... and any help, pointers, etc., appreciated. Will pay for discs or USB thumb, or whatever. Since Akai doesn't sell these anymore, I don't think it's a huge legal issue as it's EOL (end of life) stuff. And, really, the 24bit 4K Akai banks don't play on any other MPC... so.... (well, maybe the Renaissance?).

THANKS!~

Same situation for me too, and I'm more than happy to send a USB stick if that would help, and the return postage costs of course.

I have the discs at home on my shelf
