cool mac os x mpc editor

so this was created for the mpc1000, but i just tested it with my 500 and it works just great.

you can make your program and save it to your flash card.

another thing i use to make things easier is the app audiofinder. it can easily convert all your sound files to 16 bit wav and also edit them. after that i drop them in the editor and save to the flash card. wow this is going to save me a lot of time.

yeah I came back one here looking for that link right now.

I've tested it but it does not keep the order in pads i give it in the editor.

How you do it?

"I've tested it but it does not keep the order in pads i give it in the editor.

since the 500 has only 12 pads you kind of have to experiment and do the math. i think i assigned 12 sounds to bank a, then started on bank b with 12 sounds and so on. so far it's worked great for me saving the program and sounds onto the compact flash card over usb and loading them up in the mpc500. the only bummer still is this volume set at 70 thing. even if you save them at 100 it seems to load at 70. but at least it seems to be a big help in creating programs.
also check audiofinder http://www.icedaudio.com/
for moving and editing sounds and converting sounds around in os x, it's pretty amazing. also does recycle style chopping.

This what I use to make PGM's on my MAC, it works great for both 2KXL and the 500.

You just have to program it a little different for the 500, the first 12 pads of the 16 equals bank a (500), pad 13-16 equals pad 1-4 of bank b (500) etc.
and it works out that you never touch the bank d part of this for the 500.
it's a little weird at first but it works really good.

Like I said, check the links in that post, there are 3 PC editors in there !

when I make a .pgm in a computer software... I transfer the prgram (.pgm file) and samples(all in a folder and .pgm) to the CF?

Yes, the .pgm file must be in the same folder as the samples that it references.

TY, Lovesign, Ill try it...

From trying this out a little I reckon you use this with the 500 in the following way: fill up the pad banks A-D in the program from 1-16. they will spread out across the A-D banks in an order best described as "next available pad" on the 500 (i.e. once the MPC500 reaches A12 it continues on B1 since A13 isn't there).

Is this how the 500 imports a 1000/2500 .pgm as well?
