does anyone know how to convert mpc1000 .PGM files to .XPM files?
Basically I want to be able to open my programs I have saved from my mpc1000 in MPC essentials and open it with ableton Live.
Thanks!

PGM files will load into the full version of the MPC Software, including the trial, not sure if you'll be able to then save them as XPM in trial mode, I suspect saving is disabled.

Otherwise there is no way to my knowledge, other than recreating the original kits manually in MPC Essentials.

Thank you! Hopefully there is a way to do it.
also do you know how to arrange the pads so they are chromatic as any other MPC is. Instead its in a un organized pattern
Thanks again

Saving and loading was allowed in the demo unless it was changed for the 1.9 versions.
