Number of Banks
For MPC and Ableton Live, you can have multiple “banks” inside one kit preset. This groups multiple kits into one preset. On MPC, you can have up to 8 banks (A through H on the MPC unit).
Ableton doesn’t have specific bank labels, but rather multiple 16 pad kits you can navigate between by clicking the vertical grid in drum rack, or using the vertical slider on the Push. There is a limit of 7 banks for Ableton presets. This is due to the way Ableton has positioned each kit region.

A kit preset with multiple banks will have a suffix with a dash followed by the number of banks (ie “Hard Trap Pack 01 – x4”). Maschine kit presets with multiple banks will be named after the first Maschine kit in the preset, followed by the suffix (ie “Majestic – x4”).

Kits Output Location
The default location for the Kit Maker Kits is on the Desktop, but you can change the location. Note that this option does not affect Ableton kits, which can be set in the Ableton Live section of the Preferences.

Organize by Filenames if Few Keyword Folders
When left enabled, Kit Maker will attempt to organize sample packs by finding keywords in their filenames, if there aren’t many drum category folders found.

Recreate Kits from .xpm
If .xpm files are found in the imported sample pack, the output kits will be created based on these original .xpm kits, using the same samples and kit titles. This process takes longer than the standard kit making process.
