Duets MPC Edition: Vocal and Synth Presets for MPC

The collection centers on blendable vocal and synth material. Native Instruments describes the sounds as a way to add shine to a track quickly, with soaring leads, breathy pads and gritty basses as the core textures.

Because the sounds are designed to be layered, they can sit alongside your existing drums and instruments in an MPC project. The pads suit atmospheric backdrops, while the basses and leads can carry the melodic or rhythmic weight of a beat.

Riff and Run presets are aimed at building toplines, giving you melodic starting points you can shape further. Single-key harmony progressions let you play chordal movement with one key, which can speed up sketching harmony in the MPC.

Word-per-key triggering is the most distinctive workflow feature. Assigning different words to different keys lets you build phrases and song narratives directly from the pads. Built-in effects are included for hands-on tweaking without leaving the preset.

The expansion suits producers who work in MPC and want vocal-driven or synth-driven material to start a track or finish one. It fits projects where ready-made toplines and harmony cues can save sketching time.

It runs on standalone MPC hardware and in MPC software, so you can use it in either setup.
