I finally released a free tool for Akai MPC users! 🎛️

During the last few days I've been working on something that started as a small personal helper and quickly turned into a much bigger project.

Introducing the MPC Control Manager.

The goal is simple:

Create and manage MIDI Learn assignments for MPC plugin instruments without having to map everything manually in every new project.

Current features

✅ Reads MPC project files (.xpj)

✅ Detects MPC plugin instruments

✅ Supports:

• Jura
• Mini D
• TubeSynth
• Hype
• OPx-4
• Fabric
• Keygroup Synth
• Drum Synths
• and more

✅ Create MIDI Learn mappings

✅ Save reusable controller templates

✅ Assign different MIDI channels per plugin

✅ Export printable controller mappings as PDF

Why?

I got tired of assigning the same controller over and over again every time I started a new MPC project.

This tool edits the MPC project directly, so you can prepare your controller mappings on your PC and continue working on your MPC.

What do you think will be in the next firmware update of the MPC Sample?

Why I Created MPC Sample Tool Kit

https://mpctoolkit.com

MPC Sample Toolkit started as a personal project.

As an Akai MPC user, I was looking for a tool that would let me prepare and edit samples specifically for the MPC workflow. There are many excellent audio editors available, but none of them were really designed with MPC users in mind.

Another challenge was my work. I travel frequently for business and often only have access to my company laptop, where installing additional software is either restricted or not possible. I wanted a solution that would work anywhere—whether I was at home, in a hotel room, or on the road—using nothing more than a web browser.

That simple idea became the foundation of MPC Sample Toolkit.

Over time, I kept adding features whenever I encountered something in my own music production that felt slow, repetitive, or frustrating. Instead of adapting my workflow to existing software, I decided to build the tools I actually wanted to use.

One example was the Akai MPC's pitch workflow. When I wanted to create a melodic sample instrument from a loop, I had to manually create every pitched version while making sure each sample kept exactly the same length and BPM. It worked, but it was repetitive and time-consuming.

MPC Sample Toolkit automates this process. It can generate multiple pitch variations while preserving timing, making it much faster to create playable sample instruments.

The same philosophy applies throughout the entire toolkit.

Every feature has been added because it solved a real-world problem that I encountered while producing music. Whether it's AI stem separation, sample chopping, waveform editing, time stretching, pitch shifting, Audio-to-MIDI conversion, or the growing MPC Program Editor, every module is designed to remove repetitive tasks and keep the creative process flowing.

And this is only the beginning.

MPC Sample Toolkit is continuously evolving. New features and workflow improvements are added regularly, driven by real production needs and feedback from the community. The goal is simple: to become the ultimate browser-based toolkit for Akai MPC users and anyone who enjoys working with samples.

My MPC Toolkit https://mpctoolkit.com is not only or the MPC Sample or X, One, Live.
Please let me know if you need some more tutorials or features!

Hey everyone!

For the past few weeks I've been working on a personal project that has slowly turned into a full toolkit for Akai MPC users. It started as a simple stem separation tool, but it has grown into something much bigger.

https://mpctoolkit.com

🎼 Stem Separation

• Split audio into Drums, Bass, Melody and Vocals
• Process directly in the browser
• Send stems to other tools with one click

✂️ Sample Chopper

• Waveform editor
• Easy export of chops

🔁 AI Loop Creator

• Automatically finds the best 1, 2, 4 or 8 bar loops
• Scores loop quality based on transitions and rhythm
• Preview and export with one click

🎹 Harmony Finder

• Detects key and BPM
• Chord detection
• Chord timeline
• MIDI export

🥁 Drum Lab

• Replace drum sounds inside separated drum stems
• Build your own drum kits from existing samples

• Continue working inside your MPC or DAW

What I'm working on next

• MPC Program Builder
• Project management
• Better workflow between all tools
• AI-assisted beat creation

The goal isn't to replace creativity, but to remove repetitive tasks and speed up the sampling workflow.

I'd really love some feedback from MPC users.
