Just Released: MPC Upright Bass Expansion

Just Released: MPC Upright Bass is our latest MPC instrument expansion, featuring the deep, organic tones of an Andreas Moretti Double Bass, perfect for soulful, jazzy basslines and thumping hip hop grooves.



Recorded with 8 velocity layers and 3 round robins per layer and packed with an array of advanced features, this is without doubt the most expressive realistic sounding instrument we've ever built for the MPC!



Pre-mapped Q-LINK macros give you hands-on control of many different parameters so you can further shape your sound, including EQ, chorus, drive, amp tone and lof-fi fx, along with the ability to control string release noises and perform on-demand string mutes (MPC3 only). 



MPC Upright Bass is compatible with all modern standalone MPCs, MPC Software, MPC Beats and Akai Force. All instruments support MPC 2.11+ and the new MPC 3.4 firmware. 


Thanks again tutor for all your amazing work on these instrument collections. I just read a comment someone left about the drums being too loud in your preview and........bam! straight away you get it fixed. If only Akai was so on the ball.

I don't know why Akai hasn't asked you to head up the plugins division. I can only dream how awesome the Akai/Air ecosystem would be with someone like yourself overseeing it. We could really have a single cohesive plugin system that all worked together more smoothly......and geeez! does the purchase.authorising system need to be sorted out!!!!!!

Anyway, thanks again for another great addition to our MPC orchestra

Thanks! I’m hoping they eventually open up the plugins to third parties, I believe all the latest releases are using this new platform that will allow just that.

I'm currently testing the new Rusty Drums and Upright Bass. You can see that it required a lot of work, especially with setting parameters and programming macros. This makes everything sound much more natural. Thanks for a very good product and the Black Friday discount

I wonder where you hid Noise Type and string noise, because I don't see them in the layers

Sorry I only just saw this, they are just in different keygroups, set to cover the full note range and with keytracking turned off.
