01Overview

Paris Heat focuses on the French house sound that dominated Paris club culture in the late 1990s and 2000s. Native Instruments positions the pack as a way to bring that resurgent style into current productions. The content is made for Maschine and draws on the chopped-up, sample-based approach associated with the genre. The expansion was created in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Alexkid, with additional content by Leonardo Das Cabrio, Anderson and Thilini.

French House Sounds and Content Inside

Paris Heat is organized around the French touch, the filtered, punchy style that defines the genre. Native Instruments describes the pack as built for future-facing club tracks rather than a straight retro revival.

The expansion contains 40 Maschine kits, 108 loops, 314 drum samples and 127 one-shots. The drum material gives you a broad set of building blocks for four-on-the-floor grooves, while the loops offer ready-made musical ideas to chop and rearrange.

Using Paris Heat in Maschine and Massive

Paris Heat requires Massive, so plan on having it installed before loading the expansion. Maschine content requires the latest version of the Maschine software.

Native Instruments also recommends updating Battery 4, Massive, Monark, Reaktor Prism and Reaktor 6 or the Reaktor 6 Player. Loops and samples work in any DAW, and they are also accessible in the Kontakt 8 and Kontakt 8 Player browser and can be loaded directly into the Leap sampler.
