01Overview

String Theory is a sound library from Beat that loads into Akai MPC workflows. The developer describes its palette as atmospheric pads and analog-style textures for ambient and chillout production, with cinematic and retro-leaning sounds included. The patches are organized as 33 keygroup programs, so you can audition and sequence them directly on an MPC. Audio previews are included to help you browse before loading.

Sound Character and Contents

Beat says the patches were recorded from classic synths and workstations from the 1980s and 1990s, including a Roland VP-330, a Mellotron and several Nord keyboards. Those sources point toward lush, slowly evolving pads and vintage keyboard tones.

The pack contains 165 samples spread across 33 keygroup programs, for 150 MB of content in total. The developer frames the sounds as suited to atmospheric textures, cinematic pads and smooth analog-style sounds.

Requirements and Compatibility

String Theory requires MPC hardware or software to run. It is compatible with Akai standalone models MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII and Force, as well as Touch, Renaissance, MPC Beats and MPC Software.

Because the pack is built as keygroup programs, it is best suited to producers who already work in the MPC environment and want ready-made sounds to sequence.
