kingofswing, thanks a LOT for taking all that time to break it down for me. That was mad cool of you.

Does the sequencer sound too stiff on the 4000 when quantizing at 1/16th notes with no swing? I dont want it to feel like stiff a standard software sequencer. I want that MPC magic feel. Cant i lower the ppqn resolution to 96 instead of 960 if i want on the 4000? The way it sounds i think the sound of the mpc4000 would go good with the outboard gear i want to purchase ( Aurora Audio GTQ2 & Distressors). This way i can try to acheive a clean/vintage sound. I guess the best way i can describe it is clean clear vintage, but that has all to do with me tweaken them knobs! Thanks again kingofswing that was cool!
