Released in 2002, the MPC4000 was intended by Akai as a "top-of-the-range" flagship product. Not only was it the most fully-featured MPC product yet (building on the MPC60, 3000 and 2000XL), but it also incorporated the sampling engine from their Akai standalone sampler the Z8. Filtering is provided by way of 6-pole digital dynamic filters which allow realtime control of the cut-off frequency and resonance from the Q-Link knobs or via MIDI control change messages. The new filter design allows for new variations such as the triple filter consisting of three independent 2-pole filter blocks I Know that sounds complex but it ain' t we even show you the best way to use it in the DVD's. The large LCD helps viewing of sequence data, showing data as a piano roll or as a drum machine 'grid'. Continuous MIDI data can also be shown and edited graphically. It comes with a 60 gig hard drive we installed, internal a cd rom drive, and a power cable. You also get our DVDs, The MPC4000 Instructional DVD and The MPC4000 Next Level DVD, and our MPC4000 CD with over 2000 samples and one year in our Sample Kings Online Recording School. We loved using this MPC4000 a lot it can do some cool production work in the studio and I'm sure it will do great porduction work for you as well.
