Yeah it works pretty good. Most of the PGM s I've made load with no problems but there has been a couple it's rejected here and there. It's a pretty good work around for Wrong File errors ....Just don't make any changes and save again...HAHAHA

so some pgms do get rejected--it comes out onto my mpc but i hear no sound--what am i doing wrong

Also, It might assign a bunch of pads(or all) to the same note. You can just go to the program screen and rese the notes though.

anything like bleue box for mac ?

pad 187 http://www.mybunnyhug.org/software/ is like bluebox for mac...

peace jo

Jo good lookin out. Whats been your experience with the "my bunny hug" software. I just started mess'n w it. Any recommendations before i start drag'n to my MPC

i have a mac, but i do not use this software so i can not tell you anything about its downfalls.
one thing to bear in mind is to keep your filenames short and not use any letters that your mpc cannot do on itself (like §$% etc.).
the samples must be in 16bit/44.1khz wave format.

Hey guys. The following is for all those who use Blue box on Vista:

If you try to open the help file, you will get an error saying this help file is incompatible with windows.

To fix this problem,

1. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 and scroll down to where it says Download WinHlp32.exe for Windows Vista and click on the link.

2. The following page will say Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows Vista. Click on the CONTINUE button (your computer will freeze up for a couple of seconds, no worries!).

3. When its done, scroll down to where it says files in this download. If your using Vista 64 bit, download the file that has x64. Otherwise use x86.

4. When its finished, you should now be able to open the help documention that came with bluebox.

havent tried bluebox,downloading it now ,,,,does this make your workflow any quicker ? im assuming it might if u prefer to chop your samples on software as opposed to the mpc. im looking for a program that will load progz and samples and play them like a virtual mpc ...any suggestions ?
thanks

MPCEditor and Rs-16x works great for my 2000XL.

man, if any of yall could make some improvements to blue box or mpc maid, that would be nice. i wish they could play all layers of the pads simaltaneously just like it would on the mpc. that way you could make programs w/layers and acctually tell what it will sound like.
