Padbangers has released a free application MPC Sample Project Converter, that’s designed to let you change MPC Sample projects to the bigger MPC Format.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“For the big standalone MPCs — MPC One, MPC Live and MPC X/XL.
When they import an MPC Sample project, everything ends up crammed into a single track — hard to read and hard to edit. This app splits it into clean tracks and turns your chops and “16 Levels” tuning melodies into real, playable programs: chops become a chop program, tuning melodies become keygroups — plus an in-app preview and an optional template for your own mixer setup. Now also supports converting to MPC 2.”
MPC Sample Project Converter is available now as a free download for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Ocean Swift has introduced DevOcean Modular – a modern modular synthesis and sound design platform that offers a collection of 145 modules.
Modules include Wavetable and FM voices, additive banks, supersaws, physically-modeled strings, granular clouds, studio-grade reverbs and delays, nine families of filters, and some unique sources, like shortwave radio, live market data and a game controller modulation rig.
Every patch reads at a glance: cables pulse with the sound moving through them and shift color between mono and poly as you wire.
Features:
Over 145 modules, thousands of patches, presets and snapshots.
Sound quality that stands with anything on the market.
Modules holding entire families – nine filter designs, thirteen effects, six dynamics processors and more.
Modules that exist nowhere else.
MaYa – a modular AI agent that patches alongside you.
Live DSP and MIDI scripting.
Standalone, with a VST3/AU bridge into your DAW.
A complex system that stays inviting.
Thousands of patches, presets and snapshots.

Dev Ocean Modular is available now for €129.99, 35% off €199 MSRP until September 1 2026. A full demo version (save-disabled) is also available.
Okay Synthesizer has introduced Nodes, a new modular effects environment for Mac and Windows.
A Linux version is also planned.
Nodes is built around three concepts:
Audio FX – The thing that actually changes your sound. Pretty straightforward… Reverb, delay, EQ, distortion, phasers, chorus, etc. You have countless choices of FX.
Modulation – This turns knobs for you – go crazy style on the effects, and push them way beyond their limits.
Racks – Once you have a bunch of audio FX and modulation going, you combine them into complete effects Racks.
Nodes has 57 nodes modules, including FX, Modulators and I/O. They plan to expand this further.
Nodes is available now with an ‘early access’ price of $50 USD (normally $100).
