Hello,

Have had my mpc2500 for a couple of months now and am enjoying putting stuff together.

First - Im using the mpc samples.com sample programs for bass and piano and wondered if anyone knew of any other companies that specify in mpc instrument samples. I know there are loads of loops that I can use, its just that I can't seem to find too much other stuff for specific instruments and I was looking for wind or brass instruments and any others that could 'thicken' the sound - any suggestions welcome.

On a kind of similar note - I have a few vst instruments (as I was using a pc to make music beforehand) and would like to know if there is any way of getting these sounds across to an mpc. I guess I could try manually getting the sounds across but it would take ages and allowing for things like different velocities would take even longer. Does anyone know of a program that can auto-generate an mpc program so that I can use VSTs ??

thanks
Mark

you cant use VST's within the mpc
you can make a synth line or something on your computer then bounce it and put it on your mpc
