Following the enormous success of F9 Instruments Vol1 for the MPC, we embarked on an inspiring journey to develop volume 2, now ready to enchant the MPC community.

The MPC platform's Keygroup engine allows us to deliver these as round-robin, playable patches that will bring your melodies and chords to life almost instantly and save you hours of preset diving. The pack includes 18 MPC Kits and 11 Drum and FX Menus. Coupled with 17 Bass patches, these provide an incredibly robust rhythm section that grounds your production from the start. These sounds are all you need to create emotional, musical beats.
