03In depth

Sound Sources and Processing Chain

Snipe Young built the sounds with hardware synthesizers including the HydraSynth, Moog One and Prophet X. He then processed them with a mix of 500 series modules and outboard units such as SSL, Neve, API and SPL gear, along with McDsp plugins.

According to Snipe Young, the goal was to keep an analog approach with digital processing, and to pass the final sounds through SSL hardware for a last analog stage. The result is a set of drum hits, bass, keys, melodics and vocal loops intended to sound like an MPC-ready library.

What Is Inside for MPC Producers

The pack includes drum hits, kits, bass, keys, melodic loops and vocal loops. Snipe Young describes the drums as chunky snares, big kicks, glassy live hats and thick live toms, and the loops as hypnotic and melodic.

Because it is an MPC expansion, the content is organized to load directly into MPC workflows, so you can start building a track from the sounds without extra setup.
