This section is about importing MPC Expansions, the expansion packs made for MPC, so Kit Maker can convert their kits into other formats. It is not about making your own MPC Expansion. For that, see my video: How to Make MPC Expansions.
Sample Pack mode can convert MPC Expansions (the expansion packs made for MPC, which contain .xpm drum program files) into kits for the other formats Kit Maker supports. Import an MPC Expansion like any other pack, and Kit Maker rebuilds its drum kits for your chosen destinations.
What Converts #
- Drum programs only. Kit Maker converts the
.xpmdrum programs inside an Expansion. An instrument-only Expansion, one that contains only instruments and no.xpmdrum programs, has nothing for Kit Maker to convert. - Every bank becomes its own kit. Each bank in an Expansion is made into its own kit.
- Pad order. Kits keep the pad layout of the originals. Choose a different layout than Classic and Kit Maker uses that instead.
Finding your Expansions #
The MPC Exp. tab in the Sample Pack Importer finds your MPC Expansions for you. It checks the standard Akai content locations and merges the results if you keep Expansions in more than one place.
