Hi,
A while ago I made a started a software aiming to automate creating keygroup programs from a set of samples. It never got further the "kind of usable" point, but I though it might be helpful. It takes a list of samples and create an appropriate program based on their root note.
You can download it here. There is not installer, just extract it. I've not tested at all the mac version. The source code is here.
To use it:
- Name your samples so that they all include their root note in midi number (0-127) or note (A1, D2, A#1, Ab1 ...). They must be all named the same way, like with the same prefix.
- Open a command line terminal in the folder where your samples are (on Windows explorer, file->open terminal or file->open powershell)
- Run the MPCIC-Cli, with the list of samples as argument. On Linux, you can use * to avoid typing all, on Windows it should work but does not for some reason. Let say you extracted the archive in your desktop, you can type:
Press enter and if you are lucky a new xpm file is created in this folder. You can directly load it in the MPC soft, live, x.
The archive is big (~26Mo) because I published it lazily, by bundling every libraries with it. If you have an error, let me know how you use it, especially the sample names.
I hope it helps!

. This week-end I'll try to make a simple "right-click on folder" -> "create program" feature for Windows to make it easier to use. I'll also build it for windows 7, but I don't have any available for testing.
Haven't tested on an MPC yet as I'm waiting on my Live 2 to be shipped. But it's outputting a .xpm file by just targeting the folder. Very nice work!
