03In depth

Bass Sound Range and Character

The pack moves between acoustic-style and synthetic sources. Beat describes the collection as spanning synth basses for contemporary electro and 12-bit sampler basses for Hip-Hop-style material.

The 39 synth basses form the largest group. The 30 vintage sampler basses cover the lo-fi, gritty character associated with older sampling hardware. Fourteen neurobasses and fourteen experimental bass sounds add more unusual textures, while nine retro gaming basses bring chiptune-influenced tones.

Because every program is a keygroup, each sound can be played across the pads or keyboard and edited inside the MPC.

Workflow and Compatibility

Bass Thrill is a preset expansion, so it needs an MPC to run. It is compatible with the AKAI MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII, Force, Studio, Touch, the MPC software and MPC Beats, as well as Renaissance.

The pack is listed as compatible with the AKAI MPC Beats DAW. Audio demos per key group make it easier to compare programs quickly before committing one to a track.
