Originally i tried importing the old files, but I encountered some problems. Recently I decided to re-record the beats and reanalyze them for groove extraction. These groove patterns are four measures long with inconsistent timings (see the previous posting: MPC Groove Template Tutorial.

I wish someone would make a daw that grooves as much as mpc. I have used protools(1 year) midi sucked moved on to logic(1 year) good midi but designed for techno I am a rock/r&b/country song writer looking for a solid kick snare and hat. The only thing I have heard that comes close is the akai and my system is not setup for a drummachine I only have 2 inputs on my rossetta 200. It sure makes you feel like shit when some guy on youtube can make a great sequence in 5 minutes on a mpc Iv been looking for 2 years. marvin could you post the mpc midi files I use logic and can’t export them out of the demo version of reason.

I don't have Reason but would like to import them into Cubase VST 5.0 if possible. Any help greatly appreciated ;) Peff, plz could you repost the MPC Grooves as a raw MIDI file again, as mentioned earlier?

Programming a groove is easier on the pads and the drum sequencer. It's a great tool, and you should keep it! It's also a great clock source for Reason :-) Yes, I still own my MPC-3000 as well.

I have to say that the feeling of the MPC is much better than the templates. Sad, cuz i would have really needed some extra cash for selling my MPC, but after that NO WAY. But thanx for trying it.

Do you know, since it is a 4-bar loop, if the MPC 3000 applies a swing throughout the entire track, or does a 4-bar loop capture the actual timing differences and an actual MPC 3000 hardware unit does the same. Basically, what I'm asking is: Does the MPC 3000 hardware apply for example 53% swing and it VARIES throughout the entire sequence, or is it basically a 4-bar loop that doesn't change? Thanks again so much its so excellent! Peff,

Unfortunately they are not backwards compatible. Check the reply on March 26 which explains how you can try the quantization exercises with Reason 2.5. The download link is for a Reason 1.0 file which should work fine with any version. There shouldn’t be any problems with the files on Windows, however the files are made with Reason 3.0.

To make a REX file, you will still need ReCycle. It's pretty easy with Reason, since you can export a loop then import it into ReCycle and quickly set the slice points for the REX loop.

I have been wondering why my beats were somewhat sterile compared to others. Does anyone know how to export a .rex from a .rns? I want to import the .rex files into Cubase to apply the MPC quantize to beats created there using Reason rewired in. I was able to export the midi from Reason and import into Cubase, but I think that it woll suffer from same problem as bringing the midi into Reason. This is great!
