Homage MPC Edition is built for producers who want saturated, lo-fi character in their beats. The pack contains 100 presets drawn from the LA beat scene, spanning synths, keys, guitars and basses, along with warped melodic sounds and distorted textures. Native Instruments presents the presets as a starting point for custom sound design, played through the Play Series instrument.

03In depth

Lo-Fi Sounds and Warped Melodics for Hip Hop Production

The presets cover a broad mix of tonal sources, including lo-fi synths, keys, guitars and basses. Native Instruments describes the collection as pushing boundaries with warped melodics and distorted textures, which suits hip hop productions that need grit rather than polish.

If a sound feels too clean, layering it with the included noise samples adds character. This approach works well for giving a melodic loop or bass line a worn, tape-like edge without building the texture from scratch.

Using the Play Series Instrument for Custom Sound Design

Each preset runs in the Play Series instrument, which is fully tweakable. You can start from a preset and adjust it to create your own variations, making the pack useful as a source of starting points rather than a fixed sound library.

Because the instrument is playable, presets can be triggered and shaped directly in performance, which fits the way beats are often built on MPC.
