MPC Expansion - Lone Forest is a dub techno expansion pack from Native Instruments for MPC. It contains sound kits built around dub basses, crackling beats, reverb-drenched synths, drones and atmospheric textures.
MPC Expansion - Lone Forest is a sound pack for producers working in dark, dubbed-out techno. Native Instruments built it around dub basses, crackling beats and reverb-heavy synth samples, with separate kits for drones and atmospheric textures. The developer says the sounds draw on Scandinavian experimentalism and the dub scenes of Detroit and Berlin. The pack needs MPC software or a standalone MPC running version 3.4 or later.
The core of the pack is a set of dub techno sounds: dub basses, crackling beats and synth samples treated with deep reverb. These fit tracks that lean on space and low-end weight rather than bright, dry percussion.
The pack also includes special kits for drones and atmospheric textures. These can serve as sustained beds under a beat or as standalone material for ambient passages and intros.
Lone Forest suits producers making dark techno, dub techno and related styles who work in MPC. Native Instruments describes the sounds as deep, hypnotic and immersive, which points to slow-building arrangements and long, evolving pads.
The pack requires MPC software or a standalone MPC running version 3.4 or above, so it is not a fit for other hosts.
