The legendary Prophet 5 is without question one of the great analog synths of all time, with its fat analog tones gracing some of the greatest music ever made. MPC-Prophet is our tribute to this revolutionary synth, with over 100 multisampled MPC instruments that capture the rich deep sound of the Prophet combined with the MPCs own filters, envelopes and FX to create a unique set of expressive instruments for all modern MPCs.
Inside there’s an eclectic collection of powerful leads, plucks, ethereal pads & strings, punchy bass and lush keys, perfect for creating melodic content for any style of electronic music. Here’s a selection of browser previews taken directly from the expansion:
In total there’s 102 custom instruments made from 2192 samples. The expansion is divided into the following instrument categories:
- 11 Keys & Organs
- 19 Basses & Subs
- 26 Lead & Brass
- 24 Pads & Strings
- 22 Plucks & Synth instruments
All instruments utilise multisampling and subtractive synthesis techniques making extensive use of the MPC’s own internal filters, envelopes, LFO & FX, all combined with thousands of perfectly sustain-looped samples in memory optimised keygroup programs.
There’s no need for any configuration or tweaking - simply preview the instruments in the browser, load your chosen instruments into your project and start playing chords, riffs and melodies using Pad Perform, the arpeggiator, or an attached keyboard.
There's also a huge range of expressive options available, with pitch bend and real time LFO control, portamento and velocity sensitive filters to add extra dynamics and nuance to your performances.

FAQs
-
Does this expansion support the arpeggiator and pad perform mode?
Yes, all our instruments are built using keygroup programs so they fully support features such as pad perform snd the arpeggiator in all modern MPCs and the Akai Force.
-
Can I play the instruments with a MIDI control keyboard?
Yes, no problem. You can use a keyboard or just use the pads (or both).
-
Is this easy to install on the MPC X/Live/One/Force?
Yes, very easy, we provide a 'standalone' version of the expansion which you simply drag and drop to your MPC/Force disk. Full installation instructions are included in the expansion download.
-
Do the instruments take up much memory?
No! We spend a lot of time optimising our programs to use the smallest memory possible, including the use of sustain looping. Most programs are in the region of a few MB each so will have little impact on your MPC's memory and you'll be able to quickly load dozens of instruments into any project.
-
Are these instruments synthesised or acoustic?
All the instruments in this collection are synthesised, using multisamples recorded from our collection of synths combined with subtractive synthesis techniques (utilising the MPC's own filters, LFO, envelopes and FX). If you are specifically looking for a collection of multisampled acoustic instruments, check out the MPC Instrument Collection.
