The Raw 70s Kit is a fully multisampled 70s Ludwig Classic drum kit, recorded with an array of vintage microphones straight to 2 inch analogue tape and mapped out perfectly into ready-to-play programs for all MPCs, the Akai Force and Maschine.
Oozing with gritty character and tape saturated goodness, these are just about the filthiest, hard hitting multisampled drums we've ever had the pleasure of working with. This demo which was programmed entirely in an MPC:
The kit features multiple drum articulations covering all the essentials you’ll need to create incredibly realistic and versatile drum performances; open and damped kick, snare, snare rim, snare 'drag' (a very short snare roll), pandero snare (a snare skin-to-skin with a tambourine), crash, ride (centre and bell), tom (high and low), open, closed and edge hi hat, and a selection of percussion, all mapped out across the pads in a finger drumming friendly layout, perfect for programming or for playing live. Check out this demo from finger-drumming whizz Tim Kroker using the included Maschine version of the kit
Each drum articulation is recorded over multiple dynamic levels, allowing for a very realistic and natural recreation of the original kit, and ultimately giving you everything you need to create your own vintage-style drum performances packed with punch and that elusive retro vibe.
For the MPC One, MPC Key 61, MPC X & MPC Live (I & II) and Akai Force we've included a dedicated 'standalone-ready' expansion featuring 12 unique 'snapshots' covering a wide range of drum styles, along with program previews, keyword tagging for enhanced browser searching and pack image display for the Expansion Browser. We've also included a separate 'XPN' installer for the MPC Software and MPC Beats (MPC 2.10+ require).
We've also included optimised versions of the kit for all legacy MPCs including MPC1000, MPC2500, MPC5000, MPC4000, JJOS, MPC500 and MPC2000/XL/3000, as well as a port for Maschine 2.5.
The Raw 70s Kit - without doubt one of the most distinctive, hard hitting multisampled drum kits you'll ever get your hands on. Available exclusively from MPC-Samples.com.
