There isnt but you can make s5000/6000 programs and use them. Only 16bit, 44100hz though ..
Use Recycle, Gigasampler, Kontakt, Halion or whatever to make the programs and convert them to s5/6000 using cdXtract, Chickensys, etc..

If you use ReCycle theres no need to convert them in cdxtract etc.. Just choose Export and choose the format .akp instead of using Save.

You could still uses the current programs used for the MPC 2000, 2000xl, and 3000. Like the MPCpgm maker for the MAC OS and MPC editor for IBM PC. You can only make up to 4 pad banks in those program makers though. I think the MPC 4000 can load MPC 2000, 2000xl and 3000 pgm's. I know they load the MPC 2000xl programs because I done it with no problems.

You could also uses ak.sys to drag and drop sounds from your computer to your MPC 4000 to make your programs. I like to use Sound Forge for my sample editing and then drop them back into the MPC 4000. When Im finished I name my programs and save to the MPC 4000 HD.
