Hi everyone. I just picked up a 4000 from a friend. I normally make all my beats in Ableton but he was getting rid of it for $700 so I really couldn't let it go. I've never used a MPC before so the 4000 is like a total different language to me right now. I've read alot of the manual but its seriously difficult to teach yourself that way. For me at least. I'm more of a watch and learn type. I've searched all over for tutorials, books, videos all that but really there aren't too many for the 4000. Does anyone have any advice for me? I thought about getting a different MPC just to learn the basics of the MPC workflow and then transfer all that over the 4000. Is there a certain MPC that would be the best for me to do that with? I wish there was some kind of online school or private tutor for the MPC. Anyone wanna teach me? If anyone has some good advice I'm all ears.
Just got a 4000 and need some serious help.

nice purchase there, its the only z engine powered mpc they made, the thing knocks like an sp. I've never dabbled with the 4k but the manual is your best friend here, i assume its not that much different from the other mpc's eventhough its a bit more fullblown. So i suggest to give yourself some time going through babysteps, trial and error

Yo Whatup! Welcome 4000 club lol, now good luck. No seriously this thing is a beast but so far pretty worth it, I started on my 1000 and still have it with jjos and its pretty awesome, the firmware is better then the hardware and even beats out the 4000 on a few features. Ill hit you with a few pointers I missed, actually couldn't use a couple programs because of them from chopping mine or using others and that was the polyphony setting under misc, but let me know what questions and I'll tell you what I can, good luck and good times dude.
