Mines been sitting in bits in the spare room for months now, need to put it back together, can't even remember why I took it apart was either fixing the tact switches or I stole the SSD for a different MPC.

4000

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.

@@oracleelectronica Thank you for your feedback. It confirms my feeling that the 4k is still quite unique. I also have a 2kxl, and a 1k (with JJOS) in my lineup, I like them a lot, but none has the workstation abilities of the 4k which really allows me to build a track from A to Z without any outboard gear. I have a hard time finding anyone to repair it in Paris regretfully. Happy new year :)

I didn’t realise you are in France I like the south of France you say there are no technicians in France but have you tried Holland or Germany if you send anything to the uk you will get charged uk duty tax. jjos is great I have it on a 2500 it’s very good.
