Welcometo MPC Maid!
MPCMaid ('MM') is a software editor for the Akai MPC 1000, MPC2500, and MPC 500:
The MPK and MPD series controllers allow for advanced ability to control MIDI information being sent to your DAW. Infrequently but sometimes, a user may run into a problem related to the programming inside the actual product. Although Akai does not often recommend updating the firmware, sometimes it is neccessary. The following guide walks through the procedure to erase and update the firmware.

Clickthe Export button, and the loop will be exported as several .WAVfiles (one for each slice), a MIDI groove .MID file (a chromaticsequence that has the same onset as the original loop), and of coursethe MPC program .PGM file that goes with the slices samples.
