4 REVIEWS
SIGNATURE EXPANSION 5.0
“The biggest shock was the consistency. I can jump from kit 07 to kit 41 and I do not suddenly feel like I changed sample packs. The gain, tuning and texture all make sense together. When I am working fast that is huge because I am not rebuilding my drum sound on every beat.”

Caleb Moss C-MOSS · Sample-Based Producer

MASTERWORK EXPANSION 5.0
“I hit the same snare softly and hard and actually heard the performance change. Same with the hats. The velocity work and round robin on selected pads make it feel way less static than most MPC expansions. I genuinely did not expect that level of detail from a custom order.”

Marcus Hill M.HILL · MPC X Producer

MASTERWORK EXPANSION 5.0
“The first thing I did was show another producer the browser page because I could not believe how finished it looked. Custom name, artwork, kits, MIDI, source WAVs, everything packaged properly. It does not feel like files somebody emailed me. It feels like my own commercial MPC expansion.”

Theo Banks BANKS MADE IT · Producer

MASTERWORK EXPANSION 5.0
“120 kits sounded excessive until I opened it. There are actual families inside the expansion, not 120 copies with different names. Some kits are dry, some are filthy, some hit harder, but they all sound related. This is the first custom library I have owned that feels like its own instrument.”

Nolan Gray NLG · Record Producer

MPC SUPPORT

BEFORE YOU LOAD THE PADS.

Everything you need to know about Soul Chemist MPC expansions, installation, files and workflow.

Each expansion includes the files listed on its product page. Depending on the release, this can include an XPN package, mapped programs, organized folders and source WAV files.

The expansions are designed around modern MPC workflows. Always check the compatibility information on the individual product page before purchasing for your specific MPC setup.

Use the installation guide included with the product or open the MPC installation guide from this page. The exact process can vary depending on your MPC and workflow.

Our standard MPC expansion products are provided for music production under the license included with the product. Review the individual product license for the exact permitted uses.

Many Soul Chemist MPC expansions include access to the original WAV files. Check the product details before purchase because the exact contents can vary between releases.

Yes. The Custom MPC service lets you submit your own sounds, references and creative direction so a dedicated expansion can be built around your project.

Use the installation guide first. If you still need assistance, contact Soul Chemist support with your order information and the MPC setup you are using.
