Basses, Synths and Stabs in the Library

The largest group in the pack is the bass selection, with 35 keygroup programs. Beat also includes 32 synth and lead programs, 15 guitar and instrument programs, and 7 pads. Together they cover the main tonal elements used in trap and grime beats.

Because every keygroup is built for the MPC, you can play the sounds chromatically from the pads or a connected keyboard. The 445 individual samples give you the raw material to rebuild a program or chop a sound into your own layouts.

Using Trap Empire on MPC

The expansion is designed for MPC hardware and software. It is compatible with the Akai MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII, Force, Studio, Touch, Renaissance and Key 61, as well as MPC Software and MPC Beats. An MPC or MPC software is required to use the pack.

The pack is not a standalone plugin or sample library for other DAWs. If you produce outside the MPC environment, you will need to plan for that before buying.
