Updated with new kits & MIDI patterns!
The Dirty Drummer is back with more thumpingly filthy finger drumming kits for all MPC models! Volume 3 continues the Dirty Drummer tradition with 2 fully dynamic multisampled acoustic kits and 12 additional patches/snapshots, oozing with grit, crunch and warmth, featuring round robin 'cycle' kits that allow you to produce uncannily realistic dusty breaks.
Each kit is packed full of drum articulations; kick, snare, side stick, snare 'drag' (a short snare roll), crash, closed and open hat, rides tom, 'ghost' kick and snare (for adding subtle groove hits), and a selection of percussion including separate 'up' and 'down' shakers.
It doesn't matter which MPC model you own as we've created individually optimised program files for all of them! First up there's a dedicated 'standalone' expansion version for the MPC X,MPC Live, MPC One, MPC Key 61 and Akai Force and an expansion installer for the MPC Software/MPC Beats. The expansion editions feature 14 patches in total and 14 MIDI drum patterns which you can use to generate beats with all the kits.
And our unrivalled support for all legacy MPCs continues with dedicated programs for JJOS 'XL', MPC5000, MPC500,MPC60/MPC3000, MPC2000/XL, MPC1000/2500 and MPC4000.
Finally we've also thrown in Maschine 2.0 and Battery 4 editions for those who prefer sometimes turn to the 'dark side'!
Absolutely no configuration is needed, simply load the program file made for your MPC model; all samples are mapped out for you in a very finger drumming friendly way, plus all mixer settings and pad parameters pre-tweaked for you. And Dirty Drummer 3 uses the exact same kit layout as all previous Dirty Drummer volumes, making it easy to mix-and-match kits and sequences.
Warm up your fingers, crack those knuckles and dust off those pads - it's time to get finger drumming again!
