03In depth

Sounds and Character in The Analogon

Beat describes the pack as giving you the core ingredients of analog synths: strong basses, sparkling arpeggios and hearty hook sounds. The 440 samples are organized into 88 keygroup programs, so each program works as a ready-to-play instrument rather than a loose collection of audio files.

The pack is aimed at genres that rely on this kind of sound. Synthwave, trance and minimal producers can use the basses and arpeggios as a starting point for their own patterns and sequences.

Using The Analogon in an MPC Workflow

The Analogon is an expansion for MPC, so it is loaded and played within the MPC environment. The pack includes audio previews, which helps when you are browsing the 88 programs to find a sound for a track.

Because the programs are keygroup-based, they can be played across the keyboard or pads and edited like other MPC programs. Compatibility covers Akai standalone models including the MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII and Force, as well as the Touch, Renaissance, MPC Beats and MPC Software.
