Sound Palette: Plucks, Basses and Atmospheric Pads

The expansion groups its material into clear categories: 15 basses, 15 drum sounds, 35 leads and synths, 20 spheric pads and 10 pluck sounds. The plucked instruments carry the Asian character that gives the pack its identity. Beat says the combination of these plucks with rumbling bass and dark spheres creates a strong atmosphere for chillout and trip-hop. The pads and leads add depth and sustain, which suits layered arrangements and background textures.

Because the samples are arranged by key group, you can move from a bass to a lead to a pad without digging through folders. The 1.41 GB library is optimized for MPC, so it is sized for use on the hardware and in the software.

Workflow and Who It Is For

This pack suits producers working in MPC who want a focused set of ethnic and atmospheric sounds rather than a general-purpose library. Trap and chillout producers can build melodic layers from the plucks and pads, while techno producers can use the spheric textures for hypnotic sections.

The demos for each key group let you hear the programs before committing them to a session, which speeds up sound selection. The pack works with the AKAI MPC One, X, Live, Live mkII, Force, Studio, Touch, the MPC software, MPC Beats and Renaissance.
