Ever pondered about how the multi-verse works?!

Well, I've just posted a tutorial about it.

Morgan Freeman was going to narrate, but he was busy... actually, I really would've liked Carl Sagan's 'voice' on this one.. shame, you're stuck with me, instead!

Having said that, it's not reeeeeaaallly about the multi-verse.. but it kinda 'is' ..it's actually all about 'how' the MPC4000 "Multi" works.. and m ore than that.. there's a little bit about the MPC universe.. and how it collided with Akai's Rack Sampler universe.. so, it's not far off!

This is something many have asked about.. and it really does need a good explanation all of its own.

I'd love to do a full 'deep dive' on the 4000.. but, in all honesty.. it'd be 10-15 hour long 'nerd-a-thon'.

Having said that, it IS my favourite MPC. So, rather than wait for a clear moment in my schedule to attack something that grandiose, instead, I'll just do a hundred smaller clips on it 🤓

It's time.. strap yourselves we're going to explore the core of the 4000's MULTI-VERSE 🚀

TONELAB

Proudly presenting a new Tonelab series called ‘Short-Tips’, each episode focuses on a specific feature or function. Starting with the Pioneer CDJ-3000. These will be a quick 2~3 minute, phone-friendly exposé on various technical tricks.

First and foremost, for the DJ community, let's take a look at 'TAG LIST' feature!

** Most of these features will also work on older CDJs, or larger all-in-one Pioneer DJ Controllers too.

How to pair MPCs with Akai Rack Samplers: A beginners guide

There are some older, but still popular Akai Samplers that don't really offer multi-timbrality as such, and then there are some that do! ..but, getting 2 Programs available at the same time can be a little bit of a trick, if you're unfamiliar with the OS.
