Sub-forum for discussion about the DAWs and mobile apps that you use with your MPCs

I've been searching forever trying to get a straight answer to if any VSTi or DAW is capable of loading MPC snd. files. I save my data on a built-in card reader (Compact Flash / SD) with my MPC. 95% of my drums in my MPC2Kxl were sampled in so they're not in wav. format. But I haven't found any software instrument or drum sampler that can load them directly. I usually get suggestions for some file converter software which always seems to be janky and unstable and unreliable. I'm currently using PreSonus Studio One and I need to get my drums into Impact or Sampl One without having to resample them in. That would be a lot of resampling with all the kits I’ve created over the years. Any suggestions?

one suggestion, create a new folder on the flash card, re-save your project files WITH WAVES.
it will save them all as wavs.

just because you sample it into the mpc doesn't mean it has to be a SND forever.

where you will really have a problem though is if your filenames are longer than 8 characters :mrgreen:

Word? I've never noticed that option. Is it when you have All Prgms & Sounds?

All prgms & Sounds, single program, single sample.

If on a PC, use wav2snd

Can't vouch if it still works on current Windows machines though.

The current MPC Software will also load SND (and legacy PGMs) and therefore will re-save them as WAV.

Cool. Good looking out fam. I'll try this when I get back to the studio.
