Designed for professional audio production, the MPC4000 offers all the advantages of dedicated hardware, 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 our new custom designed LSI sampling engine which, coupled with a high performance Intel™ Strong Arm CPU provides ultra fast 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 to play 'conventional' sounds such as piano, bass, strings, synth, etc., from a keyboard just like our rack mount samplers.
