BeatButcherMPC

BeatButcherMPC release 1.2 is finally available for download. This program now provides one major function, and aims to do that well – the ability to write Patched Phrase files. What this means is that a wave file contains chops within it, and the MPC500 can play these files back at whatever tempo the sequencer is currently running at. Currently BeatButcherMPC only supports wave files of 44100Khz 16 bit format. If you feel that you do want a program editor as BeatButcherMPC was originally intended or other functionality which is not present (including audio format conversion)- get in touch and let me know.

Thanks to Adam Odlund for the work on breaking the patched phrase format (more details here).
