Inspired by the iconic sounds of Andre Harrell, DeVante Swing, Teddy Riley, Eddie F., Kyle West, Puff Daddy, to H-Town and many other classic 90s RnB producers and artists! This new MPC Expansion is more than a homage to that era, but simultaneously looks back while moving forward. Packed with 40 x MPC-ready constructed Drum kits packed with 90s warm, punchy kicks, Crispy Snares, Claps and Rims to silky RnB melodics created from classic analogue synths of the era! Also included are 24 x MPC Keygroups carefully created and processed using the finest outboard gear, delivering smooth leads, pads, and basses with a deep rich tone while sprinkling in a few that carry otherworldly vibes. This time out.......12 Bit Soul completed a final mix on our drums -one-shots and loops- using high-end outboard and their very own AMPlify™ plug-in to give it that extra vintage punch. We provide the paint; how the painting is created is now up to you!
