It’s undeniable! Latin Urban music is the sound and flavor of today's Urban Chart-topping hits. Everyone is trying to imitate it, but few capture its true essence. As one of the founding fathers of this Latin Urban movement, I have assembled the sonic tools you need to create your own Grammy worthy tracks with MPC or Force. From my humble roots at “The Lab Studios" in my native Puerto Rico, to multi-Grammy-winning productions made and sold around the world. This pack includes similar samples, vibes, drums, textures, melodies and flavors to the ones that helped launch the careers of many mega artists like Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Cosculluela, Tempo, Arcangel & De La Ghetto, and many others. Akai Professional has placed this treasured versatile collection of sounds at your fingertips in the new Echo Urban MPC Expansion Pack. MPC has been an essential part of my workflow since the beginning. So when the guys from Akai Professional asked me to create a signature sound package the answer was SEGURO! One year in the making, the Urban Echo expansion pack brings you the current, exciting, and comprehensive sounds, samples, loops, and programs ready to cook your next Latin Urban HIT!! I have brought together everything you need to create tracks that fill the air with rhythm and compels your body to move. I have selected instruments such as hard-hitting drums, classic sounds, processed synths and, sampled live pieces which will let you capture the Reggaeton, Dancehall, Trap, Hip Hop, Funk, Reggae, and Latin Urban with a blend of today's sound and the classic vibrations of the Caribbean created on those magical nights in San Juan.

Dark Parallax Akai Pro & Producer/Grammy-nominated Sound Designer Snipe Young proudly present Dark Parallax, the newest Expansion Pack for MPC. Snipe’s stellar work can be heard on recent smash-hit records including Beyonce’s Lemonade, Dr. Dre’s Compton, Documentary 2 by The Game and Justin Beiber’s Purpose. Dark Parallax delivers the elite-level sounds featured on these chart-toppers while also incorporating the haunting atmospherics found on the newest trap, hip-hop and Contemporary R&B tracks. “The MPC is known for its groove and gritty feel so I decided to create kits with chunky textures, dark progressions and voices saturated in different ambiances,” said Snipe Young. “I used a ton of live drums and percussion in this pack and treated them like electronic colors instead of traditional acoustics." This special-edition Producer Series pack features 50 radio-ready kits and nearly 900 samples of ferocious subs, haunting vocal lines, crisp snares and cinematic pads. Also available as an iMPC Pro Pack. Pack Contents 50 Drum Kits | 50 Sequence Demos 872 Samples | 194 Melodic Loops | 50 Hybrid 3 Presets

The library was developed by Matia Simovich (INHALT & Jupiter Rising) to exude thecharacteristic and moody sound that only an OB analog synth can provide. Everything from Prince-like stabs, long pad bursts, and punchy unison basses have been expertly sampled to provide an organic playing experience within the MPC workflow. The emphasis with this library is capturing the distinct and uniquely analog character of this classic polysynth while also making a diverse set of patches that are all production ready and encompass every sound needed to take your song to the finish line. Also included is a comprehensive classic drum kit, and, when combined with the synth patches, gives birth to the OB SYSTEM.
