Sampler
The MPC4000 Plus is Akai's Ultimate 24-bit/96kHz MIDI Production
Center
This special version of the Akai MPC4K includes the IB-4D digital
I/O board.
The Akai MPC4000 utilizes the new Z-96 LSI sampling engine, combined
with a high-performance Intel™ CPU, to provide ultra-fast
processing along with 24-bit audio resolution w/sample rates up
to 96kHz.
Up to 6 controllers can be assigned to control a wide variety
of parameters, and its USB interface and ak.Sys Network and Control
Software enhances the hinged 6" LCD and Q-Link interface.
The MPC4000 features 64-note polyphony (32-note @ 96 kHz), 272MB
of on-board memory - expandable up to 512MB using (cheap!) PC100
or PC133 SDRAM. A built-in 20 GB EIDE hard drive is included for
storage, and a separate drive bay is provided to accommodate Zip
or CD-R, and the MPC4000's IntelliSample™ capability automates
sampling, naming, program creation and sample assignment automatically.
New sound munching possibilities are available with Quick FX™
resampling using powerful presets from the included EB4JS 4-channel
24-bit/96kHz effects processor. Connections include XLRs inputs
with high-quality pre-amps and balanced outputs providing full
24/96 conversion, a dedicated turntable input, 2 MIDI inputs,
4 MIDI outputs, SMPTE I/O, and a high-density SCSI port.
Fitted with SCSI and USB master ports as standard, it can also
be connected to external storage media ie CD-R, HD, Zip, MO, etc.,
and the USB port can also be used to connect an external USB drive
or a keyboard for easier file naming.
