New 2.0 Edition: Now with enhanced velocity switching and improved expression controls & FX!
‘MPC Orchestral Pro Edition’ features a complete multisampled chamber orchestra in MPC Expansion format, all recorded directly from the original acoustic instruments built for optimised playback in all modern MPCs and the Akai Force.
Whether you need immense string sections, haunting woodwinds, powerful brass stabs or haunting piano lines, this epic expansion has you covered with an incredible array of acoustic orchestral instruments:
- Strings: Violin (solo), violin (section), viola (section), cello section, contrabass, harp
- Wind: Flute, Alto flute, Bass Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Piccolo
- Brass: Tuba, Tenor Trombone, Trumpet
- Keys - Orchestral Piano, Harpsichord
- Melodic Percussion: Xylophone, Celesta, Vibraphone, Marimba, Brass Bells
- Orchestral Drum Kit: Featuring bass drums, snares, cymbals, maracas, tambourine, shakers, skins and various other percussion sounds.
Most instruments are provided with multiple articulations to provide different playing styles with wind and brass including ‘sustain’ and ‘staccato’ (short stabs), while most strings include sustain, pizzicato (plucked), spiccato (short bow bounce) and tremolo (rapid alternating bowing). The combination of these different articulations gives incredibly realistic results - check out the demo, made entirely within an MPC Live:
We’ve spent many hours painstakingly building these MPC keygroup programs from the ground-up to incorporate features such as dynamic layers, round robins, velocity sensitive filtering and mod wheel controlled vibrato.
We’ve also ensured that all the programs are optimised for minimal memory footprint in standalone MPCs and the Akai Force, so loading multiple instruments into your standalone project won’t be a problem.
The Expansion is fully compatible with all the latest generation standalone MPCs with a dedicated 'standalone' installer for the MPC Live (I & II), MPC One / One+, MPC Key 61, MPC X /SE and Akai Force, and a drag and drop XPN installer for the MPC Software and MPC Beats. All content is fully ‘tagged’ for the expansion & media browsers and program previews provided for all instruments.
MPC Orchestral Pro Edition is the most complete orchestral expansion available for MPCs today and an absolute must-have for any MPC producer who needs to add realistic orchestral elements to their beats!
