MPC Editor is still there, but I doubt it will work on the latest WIndows OS, so might need some kind of virtual machine running XP: https://www.midicase.com/mpceditor/

Ultimately there is likely minimal public interest in an MPC2000XL editor, I can't imagine there was ever a lot of sales going down for an app that targets a sampler that was discontinued nearly 20 years ago. So when they likely came across some compatibility issues with the latest Windows/Mac operating systems they decided to cut their losses and move on.

IMO it's a shame they don't just open source the apps, but that's ultimately their decision and they still own the copyright to their work.
