Hey,

  The mpc 4000 ppq is 960.  If you play jazz...don't quantize.   

  When I work w/ cubase, I will make sure I don't leave any blank 
tracks.  So, if you want to keep only track 16..make sure to assign  
blank  tracks to 1-15.

the feel of it.  I'm sure everyone has heard of hip-hop and 
electronic music using the MPC a lot, especially for sequencing 
beats.  The theory is, when you're playing a riff, or pounding out a 
beat, the sequencer is not capturing your actual performance, it's 
basically quantizing you to whatever resolution it has.  If you 
played jazz into an MPC it would not come out sounding fluid.
