The Akai MPC remains a popular tool, but chopping up beats on those tiny screens simply isn't as easy as it is on a computer with dedicated beat-slicing software such as Propellerhead's ReCycle.


Thanks to developer SteamSHIFT, however, Mac users can now convert their ReCycle rcy, rex or rx2 filter to work with their MPC 1000 or 2500. The handy app only costs £11 to register, and you can download a demo here.
