Load Recent provides shortcuts to the last five files you have been recently working with. The list is
chronological with the most recent file at the top.
Save Project saves the current Project. In the window that appears, name your Project and select a save
location. The samples in the Project Information section will be automatically saved with the Project. The
Project file (.xpj), and its information (samples, MIDI files, Program files, etc.) will be saved in a folder with
the same name on the same folder level.
Save Project as is identical to the Save Project function but lets you save the current Project with a new
name.
Save All Programs saves all Programs of your Project.
Save Current Program saves only the current Program.
Save Current Sequence saves only the current Sequence.
Export lets you export your Project or Sequence data in various formats: MPC formats, a standard MIDI
file, a single Project Archive file, or as an audio mixdown file. Select the desired option from the sub-
menu.
• MPC formats:
o As MPC1000/MPC2500 Seq exports the current Sequence so it can be read by an MPC1000
or MPC2500.
o As MPC1000/MPC2500 Prg exports the current Program so it can be read by an MPC1000 or
MPC2500.
o As MPC5000 Seq/Prg exports the current Sequence and Program so they can be read by an
MPC5000.
• Midi Export exports the Sequence as a standard MIDI file (.mid). In the window that appears, enter
a file name and set the save location. This option is useful when you want to import your Sequences
into separate sequencer software or exchange your Sequences with another artist.
• As Project Archive exports the entire Project as a Project Archive file (.xpa). In the window that
appears, enter a file name and set the save location. This option is useful when you want to transfer
a Project between different computers without dealing with its component files.
