03In depth

Sound Character and Contents

The pack is organized around two main sound types: pads and basses. Beat says the pads are meant for atmospheric, dreamy or tense passages, while the basses cover a range of moods from driving to relaxed.

With 435 samples across 87 keygroup programs, the library gives you a broad set of starting points. Each program is built as a keygroup instrument, so you can play and edit the sounds directly on an MPC pad or keyboard.

Using the Expansion in an MPC Workflow

This is an expansion pack that requires MPC software or hardware to run. It is compatible with the Akai standalone models MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII and Force, as well as MPC Touch, MPC Renaissance, MPC Beats and the MPC Software.

Because the content is delivered as keygroup programs, the sounds fit into standard MPC beat-making and sequencing. The audio previews help you decide which programs suit a track before you commit them to a project.
