I there any software for XP wich I can use to make programs for S5/6000, Z4/8 or MPC4000?

Except for Recycle. I want to map all different notes to the keys on the keyboard.

Something similar as Aksys.

I want to make my programs on pc and than fire up the MPC and transfer the programs in one time, instead of having to drop each file individualy..

Allrighdee than! At last I found a way to make them programs! :D You'll need Chickentranslator or CDxtract and Gigastudio or Vienna.

First make a Giga instrument (Nemesys Gigastudio) or a Soundfont instrument (E-mu Vienna). If you got those, you'll need to convert it into an S5000 program with Chicken or CDXtraxt! Max bitrate is 16bits, max samplerate is 48000hz. (S5000 wont support 24bits, only 16bits) Now just drag and drop those programs into the MPC4000 with Aksys. 8)

If you find a translator that supports the Z4/8 or MPC4000 sampleengine, lemme know! :wink:

yeah i was wondering because of this thread: http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=30013


basically i was thinking that I should get gigastudio and some sample sets. If I didnt end up using gigastudio (sequencing it from the mpc4000) I could then just convert the sounds to use inside my mpc4000. And have giga for creating some giant patches.
