There's so many wavetables :worthy: ! It contains the same ones you get on the Expert Sleepers Disting range. Much more usable on the mpc tbh.

Now just need to hunt down classic microwave / ppg wavetables.

I followed the directions here: https://dreyandersson.com/blog/load-you ... es-mpc-3-9 and I know it's possible because I'm seeing a user folder in the loopop video, but when I try it, the MPC just doesn't want to recognize the folder in the MPC User drive.


**EDIT**

I got it to work by removing the "SingleCycles" folder. I guess the MPC is EXTREMELY picky about this. Looking at it further, the content in "SingleCycles" seems to be missing the proper .json for each patch. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this?

I just ran thru the OSC expansion & there's a lot of good sound & starting points for making your own.

Yeah, I got the initial wavetable set going, but the SingleCycle/AKWF won't show. It definitely has something to do with the missing .json files for each folder. I tried copy and pasting the .json file in the folder from another, but that didn't work either. I'm guessing it needs to be run through a batch convertor or something first. No biggie, I've got a lot to work with here already, but if someone figures it out, please post them. This is such an awesome update.

Sounds like a job for AI. Sadly I have about 2-3 hours a week of music time atm, but will try it at some point.

The wavetable set is pretty endless. Loving the og ppg wavetables

Admittedly, a lot of these oscillators/waves sound identical. I'm not sure how many slight variations I need of a sine. That said, Akai's OSC expansion pack is closer to what most people are likely looking for. There are a ton of excellent sounding presets.

Thinking about this, if there's an original Ensoniq ESQ1/SQ88 wavetable pack floating around, I don't see why we couldn't get pretty darn close to the original patches of those machines. within the MPC. Thoughts?
