03In depth

Synth sounds recorded from Serum, Spire and Massive

Beat says the pack was recorded from three synthesizers: Serum, Spire and Massive. The collection is presented as a set of synth sounds rather than a general sample library, so the material leans toward tonal and melodic content that can be played across a keyboard or pad layout.

The 77 keygroup programs give you a broad starting point. Because each program is built from the 385 included samples, you can browse the previews, pick a patch that suits your track, and adjust it inside your MPC environment.

Compatibility and what you need to run it

The expansion is compatible with Akai standalone models MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII and Force, as well as Touch, Renaissance, MPC Beats and MPC Software. Beat notes that it works with the MPC Beats DAW.

The pack requires Massive, and an MPC software or hardware unit is needed to use it. Check that your setup meets both requirements before you purchase.
