Absolutely, I have a re-mastered, 'mpc3' version of the Downbeat Kit along with brushed snares and other stuff that I discovered on the original studio recordings. this was pretty much ready to release but I'm going to spend a bit more time to turn it into an MPC3.6 edition.
Beyond that, I was working on a 'sound design expansion' which was going to allow blending together of different instruments using XY-pad and Qlinks etc (e.g. cloud supply style, although very much inspired by some of the very excellent Void & Vista stuff) , again this has suddenly got a whole load of new possibilities so will need to look at how this can be evolved for MPC3.6 and perhaps with extra MPCe stuff for live3 units.

Thought phasing might be an issue, but initial tests seem fine.
Also works together with 'slice motion', so now we can have 8-layer crossfaded kits with multiple round robins per layer, all combined with other features like drift, randomisation, velocity modulation of sample start, pitch, attack and delay etc. Sounds very realistic, and works an any mpc running 3.6 and easily disabled if you prefer to go back to normal velocity switching (you can leave the velocity ranges in place, MPC ignores them if you switch layer play to crossfade).
This is really good to hear - think you might utilize this going forward with your Expansions? 3.6 (and by extension, the Live III) really seems like a sound designer's paradise.
