As an MPC user, you will gain a ton of well processed samples that will give you that authentic MPC feel, chunky snares, big kicks, glassy live hats, thick live toms, and plenty of loops to get your next track going!” Included Content: 37 Drum Kits | 5 Multi programs | 37 Sequences | Melodic Loops 194 | 872 Samples
