Because the MIDI on the 3700 is very similar to the 4500, most of the MIDI commands will work. These buttons on the 3700 will probably not work because the 4500 doesn’t have them. • Spinning Platter • CLR1, CLR2, CLR3 • Auto Loop Set • A Loop, B Loop • A/B Trim • Next Track • CD, USB, MIDI • Key Adjust • Brake, Dump, Reverse • Effect Knob • FWD, Both • Loop Trim buttons • Echo Loop, Flanger, Filter The 3700 has more buttons so it will make for a better MIDI controller.

They've added better audio, MIDI assignable, new skin engine, a lot of controller support, and bug fixes.
