Performance Plugins
Two free Audio Units that turn your DAW into a remote control for Akai hardware. No registration, no license key, no account — grab the installer and go.
S-Series Performance
S612 · S900 · S950 · S1000 · S1100 · S3000 · S3200 · S5000 · S6000
Play and sequence an Akai S-series sampler over MIDI from your DAW — notes, CC, pitch bend and program change, plus SysEx keygroup read and edit. The plugin renders nothing itself; your hardware is the sound engine.
MPC Performance
MPC60 · MPC60II
Pad-shaped control for MPC hardware with the same scheduler — sequence your MPC60 from Logic or Live and let the hardware do the playback.
S-Convert Performance Plugins 0.4.0
macOS 13 (Ventura) or later · AUv2 · Apple Silicon + Intel · notarized installer
One installer, both plugins, each selectable — install to your user folder or system-wide for all DAW users on the Mac. They also ship as optional components inside the S-Convert installer, and S-Convert itself can install or update them later.
Open source under GPL-3.0 — the full code, protocol notes and model evidence live on GitHub.
