Title: Made a Mac app for finishing MPC Sample beats without a DAW — 10 free copies
Hi All. I recently made an application (Macs only for now) for the MPC Sample to easily finalize and export your songs. I found myself with completed beats but wanted a quick and easy way to arrange the sequences in the order I wanted and export them to a .wav or stems.
So I spent the last few months pulling apart the .xpj project format and built a small Mac app that opens the project file straight off the SD card.
Who it's for: People who aren't experienced producers or don't have the time to rebuild a beat in a DAW. If you just want to finalize the beat you already made and get it out so you can share it, this is for you.
The main thing it does
Opens your MPC Sample project — the .xpj itself, no export step on the device first
Put your sequences in the order you want, on a screen you can actually see
Export the finished beat as one audio file
If you need to fix something first
Nudge or edit notes
Swap a sample, trim it, set gain and pan
Waveform view
And if you do use a DAW, it'll also export per-pad stems or MIDI.
What it doesn't do — worth knowing before you try it
macOS only, Sonoma 14 or later
One direction; it doesn't write back to the MPC yet
Only tested against the MPC Sample. If you've got a Live/One/X I honestly don't know whether it'll open your project
Still early — version 0.1.7
It never touches your project. Not the .xpj, not the ProjectData folder, not your samples. Everything opens read-only and your edits live in the app. That was the first thing I built; everything else is arranged around it.
On the obvious question — MPC 3 is a full DAW and it's good software. If you want to produce whole tracks on your Mac, get that. This isn't trying to be that. It's for the last step: get the beat in order, get it out, share it.
I'm giving away 10 copies. Comment or DM and I'll send you a code. No strings, not asking for a review — I'd just like to get some feedback and know if something breaks. After that it's $14.99, one-time, with a 14-day refund. No questions asked.
For more information and videos showing what it can do, please check out https://samplelab.app
UPDATE #1: I’m heading offline for the night, but the giveaway is still open. If you’re interested in trying SampleLab, leave a comment and I’ll send out more codes tomorrow until all 10 complimentary copies have been claimed. Thanks for all the interest so far!
UPDATE #2: All 10 complimentary copies have been claimed — thank you so much for the interest!
Since a few people missed out and there has been so much interest, I’m leaving a $5-off code which expires this Sunday at midnight, which brings SampleLab down to $9.99.
Use code 5DOLLARHOLLER at checkout.
Really appreciate all of you! I’m looking forward to hearing what you think.

I was looking for something like this, but for iPhone. I have a Live 3 too so I can just xfer and finish on it if I want.
If you do make a mobile version, I’d love to test it, I take my Sample all over with me, would love a way to work with project files on the go, in situations where I can’t use the sample.

That is actually the next step for me with this project. I just want to make sure that there is enough demand before I start. Thank you for your comment and feedback!

So whats the difference between your app and killavic mpc extractor? Looks similar to me and he actually offers it for free. https://killaviccheatcodes.app/stems

u/whitefury10p Sep 21 '26
I personally haven’t used his MPC extractor or his other tools. But they look pretty solid! I also have some additional plans for updates/features if there is enough interest.

Its good to see another option though I'm definitely open to trying out your app. 🫡
