Audio/MIDI connections
When connecting external audio or MIDI devices to the MPC4000, make connections as shown in the dia-
gram below.
Connecting USB devices
[USB] connectors are provided on the front panel and the rear panel of the MPC4000.
The rear [USB] connector (slave) can be connected to a USB-equipped computer (Windows or Macintosh),
allowing you to control the MPC4000 from an editing program.
The front panel [USB] connector (host) can be connected to a USB storage device such as a hard disk or
CD-ROM drive to save the MPC4000’s internal data, or to a USB-compatible ASCII keyboard for easier
input of names.
