Found MPC Pad 187 but I'm not convinced it's gonna save me much time.

I like the interface of MPC Maid but just wondered if there's anything newer that is built with the 5k in mind?

Thanks!

Blue box was written for the 1000, nothing was written for the 5000, but I have a list of other apps across various platforms:

Ironically the MPC Software (Ren/mpc studio etc) exports in 5000 format and the program spec is virtually identical, so that's really the best fit. You can try the demo from the Akai site (which is currently down).
