Production AND performance tools that'll blow you away!
Designed for professional audio
production, the MPC4000 Plus offers all the advantages of dedicated
hardware. The Plus version includes a factory-installed IB-4D Digital
I/O board. The MPC4000 features a large LCD plus the computer interface
power of ak.Sys PC/Mac control and networking software. And to make sure
all this power runs smoothly, at the heart of the MPC4000 is the new
custom-designed LSI sampling engine which, coupled with a high
performance Intel™ Strong Arm CPU, provides ultrafast audio processing.
More than just a sampling drum machine, for the first time, the MPC4000
supports not only conventional drum programs but also gives you the
choice of selecting Keygroup programs allowing you play conventional
sounds such as piano, bass, strings, synth, etc., from a keyboard just
like with Akai's rackmount samplers.
Realtime control is provided by 2 note variation sliders and 4 Q-Link
knobs. These can be separately assigned to allow flexible realtime
performance control of a wide variety of selectable parameters including
level, pan, filter cut-off and resonance, effect send, tuning, and more.
Each assignable Q-Link knob can generate MIDI controller data so that
all performance information can be recorded and played back from a
within a sequence.
