Support and discussion for all of Akai’s modern standalone MPCs including the MPC X / X SE, MPC Live 1, 2 & 3, MPC One / One+, MPC Key 37/61.
Is it possible to set the entire keygroup to stream from disk, or does the user have to go through every sample/layer and set it manually? I haven't made the jump to 3.0 yet and this will be the deciding factor.

You have to manually set each individual sample. I use sample chains in my ‘heavy’ keygroup instruments so there’s only 4 samples to set to disc streaming. Also I think if you save it as a track then disc streaming preferences are potentially stored in the track file but I need to check that.
I suspect moving forward I will be distributing mpc3 instruments in track format as that can also store macros and midi, so it’s much more flexible

That's exactly what I feared. Make it make sense! I've got 2000+ personally sampled keygroups, most of which have over 120 samples each. I'm screwed.
Do you know of any utilities that can auto-generate sample chains from auto-sampled keygroup folders? I hope you're right about the track format.
