MPC  →  Live 12

MPC Sample .xpj to
Ableton .als

Turns an MPC sample project into an Ableton Live 12 set: your drum program becomes a Drum Rack of Simplers, and each MPC sequence becomes a scene of MIDI clips. Everything runs in this page. Nothing is uploaded.

1

Choose your .xpj project

Pick the .xpj file. WAV samples only for now.

2

Add the samples folder

If the samples did not come with the project, select the matching Name_[ProjectData] folder, which sits next to the .xpj.

3

Download your Ableton project

Your converted project will appear here, ready to download.

4

Open it in Live

  1. Unzip it anywhere. Keep the .als and the Samples folder together.
  2. Open the .als in Live 12. If Live asks for samples, point it at the Samples/Imported folder.
  3. Save once in Live so it writes its own project info.
