MPC-Samples.com is very proud to announce the release of ‘SP Neptune’, a stunning collection of multisampled sounds generated primarily from the Spectral Audio Neptune 2 analogue synth, with an accompanying library of sounds resampled and recorded through the Emu SP-12 and the Akai 4000DS vintage tape machine for some of the richest sounding synth samples you’re ever likely to hear.



Programmed, recorded and edited by UK producer and musician Canedrive (Blackfish Productions, Clubstar) - AKA 'Coz' on these forums, the collection in full consists of:

* Bass - two powerful synth bass sounds, mapped out across the pads each using 6 notes per octave (3 octaves in total per program)

* Strings - a very lush string multisample program, sampled over 7 octaves using 4 notes per octave

* Lead sounds - 5 incredibly rich lead sounds with each program covering 5 octaves with 4 notes per octave (5 further variants with different LFO & filter settings are included for the MPC4000/5000/Ren/Studio)

* Drum Kit - a fat, ballsy and unashamedly grimy kit featuring 32 electronic, acoustic and layered drum sounds (kicks, snares, claps, hats and percussion) all thoroughly seeped in 12 bit goodness

* Sound Library - 115 original tones, wacky modulations, filter sweeps and other various short synth sounds, created using a Juno analogue synth, Akai MFC42 filter, Roland SH-01, Alesis Andromeda and resampled through the Emu SP12

All 345 sounds are provided in 24 bit /48kHz and 16bit /44.1kHz WAV format and we’ve also included native MPC programs compatible with MPC Renaissance/Studio/1000/2500/5000/4000/500 and JJOS which map the multisampled instruments chromatically across your MPC pads. SP-Neptune is a sublime combination of fat, powerful analogue synth sounds and the grit, warmth and crunch of classic vintage gear. Available to download instantly after purchase, exclusively from MPC-Samples.com.

* Spectral Audio Neptune 2
* E-mu SP-12
* MPC 4000

For anyone looking for some 3 VCO analogue goodness in their MPC this pack is ideal.

No loops or construction kits. Just multiple keygroups and a nice finger drumming kit to play with. :smoker:

I was in dialog with Coz on various occasions when he was working on this, often getting to hear and play around with the sample-pack in detail. To my ears, the effort he put into this thing was and is clearly audible! The demo tune does a good job of showing off the rich textures and punch. 8)

Cheers Dan. :-D

They say "never say never" but I think SP Neptune was my one and only foray into creating a commercial sample pack.

I'm chuffed that I made it though. :smoker:
