Download this free MPC expansion featuring a fully multisampled acoustic upright bass (double bass) mapped to MPC programs by MPC-Tutor and the Pad Pimps team!
The Reaper is a multisampled acoustic upright bass instrument which can be used to create gritty, realistic sounding double bass performances in your MPC - perfect for filthy jazz-inspired hip hop bass lines.
The instrument features over 80 samples recorded directly from a 1958 Otto Rubner acoustic double bass, all mapped to MPC instrument programs to provide out-of-the-box playback in most MPC models (including the Akai Force), with 'round robins' for modern MPCs, sampled string and finger noises and incredibly low memory-usage (only 29MB for the modern standalone MPC version and 18MB for legacy MPCs).
The MPC Expansion also features 10 'break and bass' themes which consist of a sequence containing a matching bass line and drum break; all bass lines are also included as separate MIDI pattern files and all drum breaks are 'patch phrased' to auto-match any sequence tempo.
The Reaper is compatible with all modern MPCs including the MPC One, MPC X, MPC Live (I & II), plus the Akai Force. It's also 100% compatible with the MPC Software and MPC Beats as well as all supported controllers (including the MPC Touch & MPC Renaissance/Studio). It also supports the following legacy MPCs; MPC1000/2500/500/5000/4000 and JJOS. Full installation instructions can be found in the 21 page user guide.
