Vintage Synth Odyssey Demo

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.

• Why does this expansion require MPC 2.10 or greater?

  We taken advantage of many of the newer FX and features only available in MPC 2.10, so the best experience will require a minimum of MPC 2.10. That said, all instruments will load in MPC 2.4+, but some FX plugins will be missing and hence the patches will sound a little different.

• 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.
