Program editor for MPC500??

Is there such a thing ?
I am not talking about no Blue Box.
Something solely made for the 500.

is there such a thing ?

And if not, can the blue box do everything that is needed?
thanks mucho.

There doesn't exist such a program yet, why do you not want to use bluebox? Its a fine piece of software!

Does bluebox run on mac os

No, but MPC Pad 187 does

i tried mpcpad and mpcMpgMaker both on macos
but i always get " unknow file type"
what's wrong?
is it my fault with the audio files (they worked on mpc1000) or these applications aren't ok for the mpc500?

thx

THE BLUE BOX DOES WORK!!!! JUST PLACE YOUR SAMPLES FROM 1 TO 12 LEAVE 13,14,15, AND 16 BLANK!!!! JUST PICTURE IT LIKE THE 500!!!!

does mpc pad 187 definitely work with the mpc500 ?

my cousin just got one I want to share my mpc1000 kits with him.
(obviously leaving out pads 12-16)

can anyone confirm ? thanks !

I'm new to this mpc business and don't know what the 'blue box' is - can someone enlighten me? Is this a means of controlling the mpc via the pc via midi or via usb (I thought the usb transfer was only for storage).

Cheers

the bluebox webpage explains it all...

and the USB port on the MPC is only for transferring data, as you already know.

hopefully the new MPC Editor app (see http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php ... highlight=) will cater for the 500. PC only at this stage but would hopefully run adequately under emulation.
