The MPC "Tape Series" Expansion Pack provides a gateway into the sounds that helped us fall in love with music in the first place. Nostalgia evokes textures with beats that move your soul! Warm, cosy vibes that remind you of the gear and techniques that helped carve the sound of the most emulated and imitated period.

Per usual, you'll find new & unheard punchy organic drums, soulful chords, gritty samples, and smooth bass lines. The entire Tape Series has been dipped in layers of texture, character, and soul via outboard processing by classic gear by SSL, Neve, API, and more. 

Tape Series is also the first to utilize the Air Flavor/Flavor Pro plugin to elevate the sound across the entire expansion. We've carefully crafted a master chain on each program using Flavor to give beat makers an inside look at our process to learn from! 

Tape Series Vol. 1 delivers those classic authentic vibes MSXII Sound Design is known for. Often imitated, never duplicated! Vol 1 also brings the most incredible collection of Lo-Fi Warmth and the sonic punch of analogue inside your MPC, making your beats hit even harder!   Each drum hit and melodic sample has been carefully processed through high-end outboard and then transferred to Ampex 2-inch tape, delivering the ultimate punch and saturation. From vintage slick musical selections to warm and deep kicks......The Tape Series provides a whole collection of drums and samples like never before.    

Tape Series includes 24 dedicated MPC Kits, including over 450 samples mixed with Vinyl noise, Live Sampled Instruments, Real Drums, Brass, Classic Rhodes, Vintage Synths, and snares. Cracked hats, rusty

MSXII - Soul Provider 2 Mashup Demo

Akai Professional & 12 Bit Soul have teamed up to deliver the MPC Expansion DEFinitive 90s R&B.

90s R&B represents the rapid rise from genre music to mainstream cultural and commercial dominance over this transformative decade. Forever intertwined with the sounds of Rap/Hip-Hop, there isn’t one pervasive sound that defined the era, but more so an emphasis on eclectic style blending. A rapid parallel evolution in artistry and music technology ensued in a short period of time, propelling us on a journey from the organic dusty breaks of Golden Era Hip-Hop to New Jack Swing to iconoclasts like Sade coupled with the meteoric rise of the Dirty South, retrofitted Neo Soul stylings, and the arrival of the Shiny Suit Era, where Hip-Hop moguls and superstar divas were born. This expansion captures that moment in time as R&B continued its progression alongside Hip-Hop. 

-40 kits featuring 100+ 90s inspired composition loops and well over 500 one-shots sampling sounds and gear of that era: horns, piano, organ, keys, strings, synths, live bass, guitar, and dusty vinyl & crisp digital drums to represent the fast-evolving sound of the decade. All sounds created and processed with our extensive collection of analog and digital gear, including popular instruments and samplers from the 90s era.

-25 Keygroups sampling from analog and digital keyboards, rack gear and synths: fat basses, electric pianos, pads, leads and more
