Hi guys,

actually I created a free sample pack for MPCs, Battery and other samplers. Just get it...

Greets,
Marco



MPC BATTERY I
Free sample pack for Akai MPC and Native Instruments Battery + Maschine
and all other samplers able to import wave samples

There are many MPC sample packs out there but every time I download one I feel that they underutilise the capabilities the MPC offers. So I decided to create a pack that makes extensive use of the MPC's filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects, loop, etc.

The pack consists of 10 drumkits and 24 synth patches, where mostly all kits have their very own effect settings and offer several variations. Altogether 34 kits, 52 variations and 413 samples. Furthermore some of the kits come with a demo loop. The kits were created on a MPC1000 but are compatible to the MPC500, MPC2500, MPC4000 and MPC5000.

Everyone who doesn't own a MPC has the option to download the pack in Battery 3 format. Be ensured that the kits make use of Battery's features as well. But even if you don't use a MPC or Battery - just download it and load the samples into your own favorite sampler. The samples come in WAV format in 16 bit and 44.1 KHz and are compatible to any sampler I know of. All tonal samples have their root key in the filename.


Feel free to download and share the pack with everyone you know. But please be so kind and leave some feedback. The more feedback I get the bigger is the chance for another free sample pack.

Get the pack here:

thanks alot man!

i loaded them up in battery, but my version wasnt 3.0.6, so i ended up having to just load the samples themselves, but they sound great!

Sure, you can load the samples and create programs by yourself. The original programs make use of the MPC1000 effects, envelopes etc. These settings will be lost and some programs will loose their "character". But sure, using the rough samples is better than nothing at all =)

Very generous of you.

Unfortunately for me I have the 4000 and I'm lazy.

I've moved this thread to Production Techniques which is more appropriate.

A title such as "Free Programs for your MPC1000...download now" would have been better for you.
