01Overview

MPC Expansion: Alpha Juno is a sound library from Beat that brings 62 patches originally created on an Alpha Juno II into the MPC ecosystem. The Juno series from Roland is associated with 1980s production, and the developer points to its continued use by well-known artists. The pack takes those synth sounds and packages them as keygroup programs, so you can play and sequence them directly in MPC software or on compatible hardware.
