MPC Keys

Multisamples involve sampling many notes from an instrument and mapping out these notes into MPC programs - the result is a very realistic recreation of the original instrument mapped out across the pads in your MPC. You can then create your own realistic loops, riffs and solos using only your MPC.

Very easy. Just load up a mulisample program just like you would any other program. Now just bash the pads and create your own unique loops and solos! And if you prefer playing with a MIDI keyboard, no problem - just connect the keyboard MIDI out to the MPC MIDI in and play the keyboard keys - your realistic multisample sounds will be output from your MPC (we've even re-ordered all pads so they match standard chromatic order on keyboards).

Our multisamples work in the following MPCs:

• MPC2500 (WAV)
  
• MPC1000 (WAV)
• MPC500 (WAV)
• MPC2000XL (SND)
  
• MPC2000 (SND)
  
• MPC4000 (SND)

Yes, where appropriate we've looped the samples to allow infinite sustain - this means you can play a chord or note and have it play for as long you hold down the pad. 

Definitely not. It is important that professional multisamples are presented 'dry', with no delay effects (e.g. reverb, chorus, delay etc). This ensures you have maximum control over the multsamples, leaving you to add whatever effects you wish to your multisample performances. We do of course apply dynamic processing to both recording and post-production processes (e.g. compression, limiting, eq etc).

This was added to the entire Rhodes program during final tracking of the demo - we simply used the standard internal effects of the MPC for this (chorus and tremolo). As we keep all multisamples dry, you are free to add whatever effects you wish to get the exact sound you need for your beat.
