Sound Content and Sample Library

The pack holds about 1.4 GB of samples, which Beat says are optimized for MPC. The largest group is 52 leads and synths, followed by 15 basses, 12 chords, 4 atmospheric and FX sounds, 3 guitars, 3 pads and 2 drums.

The 91 key group programs map these samples across the keyboard, so each instrument can be played and sequenced directly on the pads or in a keyboard layout. Audio demos are included so you can hear the sounds before loading them into a project.
