Solina, Mellotron, Hype etc) and some which need to be purchased (e.g. Tubesynth, Drumsynth, Bassline, Electric etc), some of which are free but need a separate download (e.g. What is a little confusing is that in more recent years Akai have introduced a range of ‘ synth plugins‘ (pr ‘plugin instruments’) some of which are pre-installed (e.g. These plugin expansions are currently not compatible with standalone MPCs. The MPC Software has the Hybrid expansion pre-installed, but you can also download the other plugin expansions from your Akai/inMusic account. These are not ‘sample’ expansions, but are more like VST plugins (e.g. Examples include ‘ Hybrid 3‘, ‘ The Bank‘, ‘ Wub‘ and the ‘ 809‘. This is actually another type of Expansion referred to within the MPC Software the ‘ plugin expansion‘. We’ll look at all these features as we progress through the tutorial, so let’s get on with making our first ‘sample’ expansion! You can also view expansion packs in the ‘expansion’ section of the standalone MPC browser (albeit with limited features compared to the MPC Software browser), as well as the newer ‘ Sounds’ browser (with even less features!) In the MPC Software and MPC Beats they are accessible from the ‘expansion browser’ and ‘media browser’ and offer a range of features such as grouping, tagging, program previews, demo sequences, and thumbnail images. An expansion can contain samples, kits, instruments, sequences & projects, often based on a particular ‘theme’ and all specifically formatted and optimised for use in an MPC.Įxpansion packs used in all MPC environments. In this tutorial we’re going to look at making an MPC expansion. For more tutorials like this, check out my hands-on tutorial course, the MPC Bible. We’ll also look at how we can export these expansions for use in ‘standalone’ MPCs such as the MPC X, MPC One, MPC Key 61 & MPC Live. In this tutorial we’re going to look at creating our own MPC expansion packs with the MPC Software.
