VMPC2000XL

VMPC2000XL is an emulator of the classic Akai MPC2000XL sampler/sequencer.

Features:

• Linux, macOS and Windows support.
• Available as standalone applications and VST3/AU/LV2 plugins.
• Load/save most of the MPC2000XL file formats: APS, ALL, PGM, SND, MID, WAV.
• Raw USB volume (CF card) support with Akai FAT 16.3 filenames.
• Every screen and function tries to be 100% like the original.
• Multi-track direct-to-disk recording, a.ka. "bouncing", to WAV with offline rendering option.
• Basic MIDI in/out.

VMPC2000XL does not:

• Mimic the signal path, analog inputs/outputs so it doesn't make your samples sound "warm" or "dirty".
• Make it very easy to create beats and manage sounds like modern equipment and software. Its only purpose is to emulate the MPC2000XL.
• 100% mimic the digital per-voice filter. It contains an approximation which was tweaked by ear, so it's possible that a setting on the 2000XL doesn't sound the same in the emulator.
• Emulate the optional EB16 FX board.
