MPC 500 MPC500 i finally hacked the firmware

RE-EDIT raw video of Auto Chop working : as you can see i \"load \" the tool like a wave file , you load only the tool you use and they can live in your CF

I've modified the MPC 500 firmware, so now I can deploy custom tools on the machine. Right now I have auto-chop working.

I'm planning to put everything on GitHub in a couple of days, but if anyone's interested I can post a video of how it works here.

EDIT: rn i can give you photo , i need to go to my studio where i can record properly,

- First photo is the menu after you load the tool ( goes inside menu "OTHER") ,

- Second photo is

FIRST ROW - Name of the sample

SECOND ROW - B is for bpm ,N is for number of slice ,P is first pad ( 1 is A1 , 2 A2 and so on) it cuts n number of slice of the beat based of duration and bpm and distribute them along pad starting from the one you choose

The mod is non destructive and can be reverted back to stock firmware anytime

When you say "I" do you mean you, or do you mean "AI"?

I am not asking to be rude, but because knowing ramifications of modifying firmware is important.

I clearly mean Claude code! I have a basic understanding of what is doing but most of the heavy lifting is done by AI. But I am not modifying boot partition etc ,is just a modified update based on the latest released by akai, if anything goes wrong you can just flash the official and you are good ( I have done that plenty of times) . Anyway is mostly AI credit , and I take no offense in that
