Picked one up last night for $1700 Plus tax from G.C they didn't have the manual. Does anyone know where I could get one (Ebay-Akai ect.) DONT want to down load one dont want to start up my computer every time I need to know something. Not a nubie I started on a SP1200 In 93 got a 2000xl In 99. Have zips with my 2000xl and wanted to know if I could load songs and programs into my 4000.

YES I DID A SEARCH get the same posts every time I do one. ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS WERE TO FIND THE MANUAL AND WILL THE ZIPS LOAD PROPERLY.

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT REPLY

The hard manual that came with sucked ass. You will need to DL the pdf manual and buy a printer (or go to kinkos). I should sell mine, it sucks that bad.

The 4k should load your XL files. Have you tried it? You already bought it, might as well.

Yea I tried loading, some sounds were missing and the sequences were all F---ed up I'm not worried I know I'll get it going there weren't any samples or sequences in there prior to loading. But I will download the manual My wife told me she could do it for free at school. It also didn't have the 8 outs or the spdif . I am happy with it so far and already diggin the sound and feal.

It will load XL, and even 3000 files. Download the manual. Use a lazer printer. It won't bleed if it gets wet.
