Your search for 'go-to' MPC 808 kit is finally over! 808 Evolution from Canedrive & Pad Pimps features a phenomenal collection of 336 drum machine sounds resampled and layered with a sublime array of vintage samplers and analog sources that most self-respecting studios would die for: ASR 10, Emu SP12, Akai S950, analog tape and vinyl.
The first part of the expansion contains the 'analog showdown', with two kits each resampled through the different samplers to give each kit it's own unique tone, grit and flavor
The demos below showcase both kits through all six of its variants on the same 2 bar beat (running order: Clean > Vinyl >Tape > S950 > SP12 > ASR10).
The expansion then takes the electronic/analog blend even further with it's unique 'Hybrid Drum Library' containing a scorching collection of 144 drum machine kicks, snares and hats expertly layered with acoustic drum samples and a variety of organic tones & textures to produce a shuddering blend of drum timbres.
808 Evolution is compatible with all MPCs, including all modern standalone models such as the MPC One/One+, MPC Key 61, MPC X, MPC Live/Live 2 & Akai Force,, the MPC Software/MPC Beats and all legacy MPC models.
All kits come with MPC program files that will load up the kit across all your pads in a finger-drumming friendly layout. The expansion edition includes program previews, custom pad colours and full sample tagging. Find out more in the included User Guide.
