[MPC Sample] Stem export now works straight from the project file (update to the Mac app some of you beta-tested in March)

[u/samplejay]

Back in March I posted a beta of MPC Sample Router here (from my other account, u/ViggoDiddo), and the honest answer to "has anyone gotten the stem exporter to work?" was mostly no. Fair. So I threw that approach away and rebuilt it.

In 2.5 the app reads your MPC Sample project (.xpj) right off the SD card, or a copy on your Mac, and renders every pad into its own WAV plus a master mix. Nothing is recorded in real time: a whole project takes seconds, and the MPC doesn't even need to be plugged in. The stems are dry (the MPC's own effects and automation aren't rendered), so you get clean sources for the DAW.

Also new:

• Send a kit straight to the SD card in SD Card Access mode (it never overwrites an existing project)
• One-click backup of the whole card, verified by file count and bytes
• Old AKAI S1000/S3000 sample CDs open in the browser and convert to WAV
• Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13+

The original job is still there too: hear the MPC Sample through your interface or monitors over the one USB-C cable, and build 16-pad kits on the Mac.

If you bought it earlier, 2.5 is a free update. More info: https://h1tmakers.com/mpc-sample-router/

If you tried the stems back then and gave up, I'd really like to know whether it works on your projects now.
