Sound Character and Modulation

The presets cover a range of keys and synth textures. Native Instruments describes the sounds as dreamy hybrid vocal pads, metallic plucks and gleaming, resonant synth leads.

The developer also points to built-in modulation effects, including tape wobble and lofi bitcrushing, for adding a super-phat, modern edge. These effects are useful for giving a sustained chord or lead a lo-fi texture without building a patch from scratch.

Built for MPC Workflows

MPC Editions were developed from the Play Series and customized for MPC users. Native Instruments says each edition has been redesigned to work with Akai Pro hardware.

The pack runs as a standalone MPC project and comes with a focused set of controls for modifying each preset, so you can adjust the sound without digging through deep parameter menus.
