Marco Polo - Crate Classics Vol. 1 | Akai MPC Expansion

Introducing The Crate Classics Vol. 1 MPC Expansion by Marco Polo. Marco Polo’s newest MPC expansion. Delivered as 25 playable kits with the original project files included. Crate Classics Vol. 1 is a boom bap production kit made from the ground up using Marco Polo's MPC. Every day for a month Marco Polo created a new beat and turned it into a 16-pad program: drums, bass, chops, chords, FX and vocals for that beat, all mapped and ready to play the second you load it. Hit the pads and the whole record is under your hands. 25 kits, 25 sequences, 25 finished demo projects, 400 samples, 77–100 BPM. The drums are Marco’s. The bass, chords, leads and FX were played and recorded from his Roland Juno-106, Moog Model D, Moog Matriarch and Moog Grandmother, then processed in the box. No stock presets. You also get Marco Polo's original MPC project folders. Open the actual sessions, see how the kits are mapped, how the sequences are arranged and how each demo was created. Swap a kick, re-chop a loop, lift a pattern into your own project, or strip a demo down and cook it your way. Even if you're not working the MPC or MPC Software, all 25 Kit WAV files are available for this amazing project allowing you to throw these into any DAW or Drum Machine THE EXPANSION CONTAINS: 25 Drum Programs (16 pads each, one full kit per beat) 25 Sequences 25 Demo Beat Projects (complete MPC sessions, 77–100 BPM) 400 WAV Samples: – 140 Melodic Loops & Chops (Rhodes, piano, strings, organ, vibes, sax, flute, clav, guitar, Juno arps) – 65 Kicks – 49 Snares – 43 Hats – 32 Moog & Juno Bass Loops and One Shots – 29 Percussion – 13 Moog & Juno FX (sirens, sweeps, wind) – 10 Drum Loops & Fills – 19 Vocals, Crashes, Rides, Claps & Moog Leads 25 Demo MP3 Previews XPN Expansion Package (MPC 2 and MPC 3 versions) Original MPC Project Folders (direct file access, no XPN install needed) Installation Instructions + Video Technical Specifications: Compatible with MPC 2.7 & MPC 3.8 Separate XPN builds for MPC 2 and MPC 3, both included Install via XPN or drag the project folders straight to your drive WAV samples work in ANY DAW; programs and projects are MPC only Hardware-sourced sounds: Roland Juno-106, Moog Model D, Matriarch & Grandmother 16-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV Approx. 1.5 GB per version 100% ROYALTY FREE Use every sound in your own beats, including commercial releases.
