About this project

This project documents how the MPC Sample works on firmware 1.3.0.12, including the protocol for its controls, and includes a first-stage replacement firmware with 32 voices, envelopes, mute groups and looping.

It doesn't include Akai's firmware or any device backups. The author notes the firmware runs from RAM in place of the stock app.
