the ADAT outs on the 4k are not MAIN outputs, they are similar to the 8 individual outs, but in digital format / the ADAT ins on the contrary are only 2ch, stereo // although there's no (direct) CV/Gate outs on the 4k , don't forget the DACs are DC coupled, so you can sample&playback CV/Gates // i like your rug though

For all, who want this work properly you should do following: Intel Based PC, if it is possible a X58 Chipset (Best would be Asus Workstation, Sabertooth or P6T Mainboard) from 2008, Windows XP with the common tweaks-please google-. (Performance Mode settings, Force Background Services and disable all internet settings and so on) (Important: 32Bit Version!!!). On a MAC it's very unstable. Further important: Don't use USB 3 cables, the older the better! The Transmission is on the USB 1 Protocol. I use it only today for simply drag and dropping samples. I make this directly out of Reaper (yes Reaper runs on a 32 windows xp machine, what else, it's reaper😂) There, i do vocal compings, normalize and time-stretching stuff and drag it DIRECTLY from the Reaper media pool to the PADS in the PAD Editor in AkSys. Reapers Media Explorer is highly underestimated, you can do somethings there, that are simply impossible in any other DAW's Media Pools. AND: This is very efficient! I had never a problem with the connection, all works smoothly. All the other stuff i make on the mpc4000 (for this you have such an amazing mpc). This Software came from a time where all very focused to go in the box. Today, a mpc4000 user want completely the opposite🙂! Hope this help for someone

Hi, thank you for the video. I’ve been rocking the 4000 for the past 15 years, and it is now showing its age (usb is dead, pad sensor needs change with two pads dead, ide drive needs to be changed too, main outs are a bit noisy...). It is an old white unit, so probably from 2004. I see that there are lot of good deals for the 5000 on the market, i could get one for 600€, which is what repairs on the 4000 would cost me at least, and i was wondering, in your experience, if you would recommend switching to a 5000? Have a nice day :)

A good technician will be able to repair and service your 4k my advice is get it repaired and up to scratch so it’s always ready. if you haven’t got a 5k then it’s up to you if you got the spare cash then why not pick up a legacy mpc. Would I replace my 4k with a 5k the answer is no I would not replace or switch it. But that’s my opinion. The 5k is also a very good machine and it’s good to have in the collection.

I have an all analog studio and the MPC 4K is still my main work horse. I have the the I/O's installed, what's big for me is the 8 analog outs. They go into my analog mixer. I just recently picked up the Akai Key 61 because I wanted to try out the MPC software because of the quicker workflow. But I will never get rid of my 4K for me it's a beast of a unit, I use Pro Tools Native HD interfaces (I have 2 which gives me 32 channels of audio into my mixer and I sync my 4K to Pro Tools. I may pick up an MPC X since the original unit you can get at good price on Reverb.

Lately, i got my hands on the new SYNCLAVIER REGEN, and this is more what i would of like a modern mpc to lean towards, its a pure gem, allthough it should more be compared to old school rack units as it doesnt sequence, you'lle ned an external unit for that (mpc is perfect). This thing is nuts and limitess, pure gem for a beattmaker, but obviously not so many got that.

The computer & X are modern tech so they wont change how what you sample into sound. The ASR-10 is from the 90s & can't record the high frequencies as well which can give you the illusion they it has more bass/warmth, but that bass/warmth is still in the X you just have to you the right LP-filter to get rid of the high freqs. The ASR just gives you lofi sound from the start, but the X is better because it can sound clean & lets you the sound artist add your own style of dirt. I wish you would've just play the different sample with talking or any break in-between. It'll help to really hear the differences. I got the Force & the ASR-10 rack & been meaning to do a sound test between them & all the other samplers I got. I'll see if I can use the Force sound shaping tools to try to emulate the ASR. Peace!
@oracleelectronica Ай бұрын
I wouldn’t refer to the sound of the asr as an illusion neither would I say the x sounds better than the asr and because the x and the computer sound the same don’t mean that the x and the computer are the same because the x is newer that would mean all new samplers do not have a signature sound and sound like the source exact. I just think it’s the way the x was made it’s still got converters like any other sampler
@Harlem-Instrumental Ай бұрын
@oracleelectronica I didn’t say the ASR-10 sound was an illusion. I said since it rolls off the highs, it can give you the illusion that it's warmer & has deeper bass, but the X can record the highs more accurately allowing you to keep it clean or dirty. This IMO makes the X a better sampler overall. The ASR-10 is better if you just want a more lofi sound from the jump, but the X can use 4 fx on the Inputs, so you could set up FXs an rack to make incoming audio sound even more lofi than the ASR. What I was saying about modern PCs & the X is that they are better at recording audio frequencies more accurately than a 16bit sampler from the mid 90s. Most samplers nowadays don't sound all that different, like back in the day. Luckily, the X has many sound shaping tools to allow you to create your own flavor. Also, the X is 24-bit at 44.1k, which has more headroom & a lower noise floor than any 16-bit sampler, so it's cleaner & can handle louder audio levels without clipping. The lower noise floor is part of the reason why it can record the high-end better.

Also if your talking fx racks you can create an fx rack without an mpc x no matter what your sampling into in reality and if sampling into a machine results in exactly the same audio then some might say what’s the point in sampling at all you might as well import the audio instead.
