That's true! I was workin' on the 2kxl for 4 years and now i'm proud to be a 4k owner.It's definitely the leader out there and it really helps me with its so many features! PS: I missed my MPC2000XL so far but i found my new love in this monster! :lol:

I guess what aaron means is: "Who's gonna trade your 2kxl for a 4k"...

I am really upgrading it, meaning I am going to this music store in midtown where they have a bunch of Mpc 4000. So i am trading in mines plus some cash for it. Just clearing it up....

I just sold a 3000 to buy a 4000. First of all this thing needs alot of work

with the operating system. People have said stuff about the auditon

feature, man **** the audition feature make the **** decay work right

in the program page. Akai!!! wouldn't be nice if I made a song on any

previous mpc and when I loaded it into the 4000 it played like it played

on an older model? The SEQUENCER is not as GOOD as the 60,2000,3000

( song mode doesn't play smooth )

On another note, there are still alot of features I haven't touched.

Some of these work-a-rounds are going to change your music-work

flow. Something to think about.

Wow man so i guess it wasnt a good trade for you, are you still using the 4000?

By F.O.B Fri May 21, 2004 8:39 pm
I sold the 3000 for $1550 I bought the 4000 for $1850. Not bad

considering my panel light went out. If and when this thing gets fixed it

will be well worth it. Right now the O.S isnt up to par.

I havent made my descion yet to sell it. I just got it 5 days ago. Im going

to give it some time. The last mpc's have been the shit for years. If Akai

can work it out I will wait but will they be as good as previous ones?

I don't understand how the sequencer can be any worse then the previous models...
Is it more complicated or what ?

Im getting an MPC4000 on monday, Im just curious to know why so many people down this machine.
