It’s undeniable! Latin Urban music is the sound and flavor of today's Urban Chart-topping hits. Everyone is trying to imitate it, but few capture its true essence. As one of the founding fathers of this Latin Urban movement, I have assembled the sonic tools you need to create your own Grammy worthy tracks with MPC or Force. From my humble roots at “The Lab Studios" in my native Puerto Rico, to multi-Grammy-winning productions made and sold around the world. This pack includes similar samples, vibes, drums, textures, melodies and flavors to the ones that helped launch the careers of many mega artists like Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Cosculluela, Tempo, Arcangel & De La Ghetto, and many others. Akai Professional has placed this treasured versatile collection of sounds at your fingertips in the new Echo Urban MPC Expansion Pack. MPC has been an essential part of my workflow since the beginning. So when the guys from Akai Professional asked me to create a signature sound package the answer was SEGURO! One year in the making, the Urban Echo expansion pack brings you the current, exciting, and comprehensive sounds, samples, loops, and programs ready to cook your next Latin Urban HIT!! I have brought together everything you need to create tracks that fill the air with rhythm and compels your body to move. I have selected instruments such as hard-hitting drums, classic sounds, processed synths and, sampled live pieces which will let you capture the Reggaeton, Dancehall, Trap, Hip Hop, Funk, Reggae, and Latin Urban with a blend of today's sound and the classic vibrations of the Caribbean created on those magical nights in San Juan.
