I’m looking to see which machines have semi-faithful reproductions emulated in the MPC stand-alone system. For example— is there a mpc EQ plug-in that works similar to Pultec EQ? Or are there other plugins like arp odyssey or mellotron that emulate famous machines?

I’m an intermediate user just trying to dig deeper into the box and see what sounds and tools I have access to.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. If you’re in Seattle, I’m down to link up!

Akaipro.com has all that info, but it does have those to synths that you mentioned & they're great IMO, YMMV. YouTube has plenty of reviews on all the Akai synths did you check there?

I have beat I did just with a sample & Odyssey which also has an emulation of the famous delay pedal "the Echoplex" made by Mike Battle. I can post it if you're interested.

i think he was asking if there were more emulations other than the odissey and mellotron.
about synths: yes, there is a minimoog emulation and a roland juno, they are both paid for plugins.
regarding pulteq style eq unfortunately not.

May bad. I miss read it. The Mini D & Jura some of the best, and then there's the Auto-Sampler & synths with return policies to make up for what's not there. :smoker:

I do think one of the eq's is based on a pulteq, I'm not sure which ones but they're is great tutorials on YouTube that a guy goes over them. The filter #1 is supposedly based on a Moog filter, in sure there are others but I'm not sure that's all I know.
