Grammy-nominated producer and chief sound designer at F9 James Wiltshire explains why... “The first time I heard the F9 patches back through my MPC-X I did a victory lap of the studio - This is THE SOUND I’ve been reaching for in a sampling platform for years - These patches cut straight through contemporary productions with ease and the process of making the audio demos proved to me that they often need hardly any additional processing …. …We all know that nothing crunches the numbers like an MPC so now imagine that fiery audio engine that is legendary for drums punching out your bass lines, hooks and chords… … For me, it’s been a revolutionary process and I consider this a new era for F9’s sound design journey and I cant wait to see where we go next. I’ve been using these instruments in my productions and remixes - they are FIRE! and I can't wait to hear what the MPC community does with them“ F9 have pioneered multi-sampled instrument design over the last 5 years and now in this release, they have taken it even further with a ‘triple-cooked’ sampling process.
