Subject: MPC4000 sound quality for MOTM?

From: Robert van der Kamp <robnet@...>
Date: 2004-02-07

I asked before on AH, but didn't get a concrete answer:

I'm thinking of getting an MPC4000, for midi sequencing of
course, but mainly to be able to make samples of my MOTM
synth and use these to build a song. (I hate computers for
that kind of creative stuff.)

I know the 4k has a bad reputation, but that's not what I'm
asking about here (working on that). What I'd like to know
is if the sound quality of the 4k at 24bit/96k is good
enough to capture the beautiful analog quality of my synth.

I assume that 96k will be good enough to deal with most of
the aliasing problems, but is the AD/DA good enough?
Transparent? No colouring? That kind of stuff.

Did anybody ever hear the machine?

Thanks,
Robert
