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. F9 Neptune for MPC was designed from the ground up to offer you some of the most inspiring, detailed and atmospheric keyboard patches possible. 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. Sourced from classic and modern synth hardware, acoustic / electric pianos and instruments, production and editing of this pack took well over 18 months. All patches were finalised using the height of contemporary digital technology. The resulting patch collection brings producers of all genres a modern palette of sounds designed to fit inside contemporary mixes without hassle or stress. Explore the breadth and beauty of this collection in our comprehensive audio demos. This unique MPC expansion includes: 5.5Gb+ MPC Expansion (installed) Over 100 Fully playable MPC Keygroup instruments 18 Drum Kits 11 Drum and FX menus Full set of Qlink macros for each patch/Kit Audio previews for all patches, kits, menus and kit sequences F9 Neptune Keys This collection's core consists of 54 Keyboard patches, 23 Pluck, and 9 Piano patches. Each key, subjected to up to three layers of re-sampling and post-production, resonates with emotional chords, natural movements, and expressive sonics. By using the round-robin capabilities of the MPC Keygroup layers, we can create a lush soundscape within the 5.9Gb of multi-samples and are proud to present you a collection of MPC instruments that we feel beats anything else out there. F9 Neptune Pianos Dusty grand pianos that sound like they are playing from a Havanna backroom meet dusty practice-room uprights whilst the vibrating tines of electric pianos processed through analogue chorus pedals ( combined with layers of atmospherics ) will allow your chord sequences and melodies to shine. F9 Neptune Plucks The rise of pluck instruments in modern productions is undeniable. With our collection, we delve into a unique blend of ethnic string sources, hybrid mallets, re-imagined guitars, ethereal digital synth combinations, and physical modelling. Use these distinct patches to bring your soundscape to life. Layer two of these, pan them wide, and discover remarkable results. F9 Neptune Kits Our 18 Neptune kits blend the modern with the classic, providing a diverse set of beat kits that can hold their own against the best. Each kit has been meticulously processed, emphasising transients and details, making these kits a one-stop shop for rhythmical inspiration. All drum and FX sounds are included in 11 additional menu patches for rhythmic overdubs, igniting your creativity.
