Orders & Downloads

Delivery, access and file help

Where is my download?

Most digital products are available from the order confirmation page, download email, customer account or digital delivery page. Check spam, junk and promotions first. If access is still missing, contact support with your order number and the email used at checkout.

Open Download Help →
How are digital products delivered?

Soul Chemist products are delivered digitally unless a product page clearly states otherwise. Depending on the product, access can be provided through the order page, email, customer account, digital delivery page or a protected private library link.

My download link is not working. What should I do?

Try the original order page or customer account first. Confirm that the link has fully loaded and that your device has enough free storage. If the issue continues, contact support with the order number, checkout email and a screenshot of the error.

Open Download Help →
I downloaded a ZIP file. What do I do next?

Extract the complete ZIP before using the product. A ZIP is only the delivery container. After extraction, use the WAV, MIDI, PDF, XPN or other files inside according to the product instructions.

Open File Compatibility →
Can I download my purchase again?

Use the original download email, order page or customer account whenever access remains available. Keep a backup of every purchase. If access has been lost, support can verify the order and help restore the correct delivery route.

I used the wrong email at checkout. What should I do?

Contact support with the order number, the email entered at checkout and the correct email address. The purchase must be verified before account or delivery details can be changed.

Contact Support →
My ZIP is incomplete or will not open.

Delete the incomplete archive and download it again using a stable connection. Confirm that there is enough free storage and extract the fresh copy with a current archive tool. If the same problem continues, send support the order number, device details and screenshots.

Compatibility & Files

Formats, DAWs and sampler workflows

Which DAWs can use the WAV files?

Standard WAV files work with all major DAWs and most modern samplers, including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, Maschine and MPC. Product specific requirements always take priority.

Open File Compatibility →
What file formats are included?

Most audio products use high quality WAV files. Some products can also include ZIP archives, MIDI, PDF documentation, XPN packages or prepared MPC folders. The individual product page is the final reference for what is included.

Understand the file types →
Do I need any plugins to use Sample Packs or Drum Kits?

No special plugin is required for standard WAV content. Load the audio directly into a compatible DAW, sampler, drum rack or hardware workflow. A dedicated application is required only for formats such as XPN.

Can I use the sounds on hardware samplers?

Yes when the hardware supports the supplied audio format. Modern WAV compatible samplers can normally load the source audio directly. Older hardware can impose model specific limits for sample rate, bit depth, filename length or storage.

Open File Compatibility →
Are the files compatible with Windows and macOS?

Standard ZIP, WAV, MIDI and PDF files are compatible with current Windows and macOS workflows. Dedicated expansion formats depend on the software or hardware that opens them.

How do I import samples into my DAW or sampler?

Extract the ZIP, store the library in a permanent location, browse to the WAV files and load them into the timeline, sampler, drum rack or pad workflow used by your software.

MPC Expansions

Installation, hardware and XPN support

How do I install an MPC Expansion?

Use the installation route supplied with the expansion. A prepared Standalone folder can be copied to compatible MPC user storage, while an extracted XPN is imported through MPC Software on the computer.

Open MPC Installation →
Which MPC models are supported?

Compatibility depends on the individual expansion, MPC model, software version and installation method. Current Soul Chemist support is built around the modern MPC ecosystem. Check the product page and the full compatibility guide before purchase.

Check MPC Compatibility →
What is the difference between XPN and Standalone?

XPN is the desktop expansion package imported through MPC Beats, MPC 2 or MPC 3. A Standalone folder is the prepared expansion structure copied to supported MPC user storage for use without keeping the computer connected.

Open MPC Installation →
Do I need MPC Software?

You normally need a computer to download and extract the product. If a prepared Standalone folder is supplied, compatible hardware can use that folder directly. XPN installation and desktop workflows use MPC Software.

Can I install an expansion on SD, USB or user storage?

Yes on compatible MPC hardware. Keep the complete pack folder inside an Expansions folder at the root of supported user storage and do not separate or rename the internal files.

Open MPC Installation →
Can I use the WAV files without an MPC?

Yes. The original WAV audio can be used independently in any compatible DAW or sampler. MPC mappings, artwork, choke groups and other prepared program behaviour do not transfer automatically with the raw WAV files.

Does an XPN work on MPC 1000, MPC 2500 or MPC 2000XL?

No. Those classic MPC models do not use the modern XPN expansion workflow. Use compatible source audio manually and follow the legacy requirements for the exact hardware model.

Check MPC Compatibility →
My expansion does not appear in the MPC browser.

Confirm that the download is fully extracted and that the complete Standalone pack folder is inside Drive / Expansions / Pack Name. If you imported an XPN on desktop, restart MPC Software once and check the Expansion Browser again.

Licences & Usage

Commercial use and source file rules

Can I use the sounds commercially?

Yes, subject to the applicable product licence. You can edit, chop, process and resample licensed sounds inside original finished music, release that music commercially and provide completed productions to artists, clients, labels or publishers.

What does royalty free mean?

Royalty free means you can use the licensed sounds in original music without paying recurring royalties to Soul Chemist, subject to the store terms and any licence included with the product. Royalty free does not mean copyright free.

Can I sell beats made with Soul Chemist sounds?

Yes. You can sell or license original completed beats that contain properly licensed Soul Chemist sounds. You are selling your finished creative work, not the original source files.

Can I upload finished music to Spotify, Apple Music or other platforms?

Yes, subject to the applicable licence. The release must be an original finished production and must not redistribute the raw source material as a substitute for the original product.

Can I share, resell or redistribute the raw files?

No. Purchased source files cannot be shared with another producer, uploaded as a public or private download library, resold, given away or repackaged into another sample pack, drum kit or competing sound library.

Can I register music made with the samples in Content ID?

Do not register isolated or substantially unmodified shared samples in automated rights systems. A sufficiently original completed composition can be distributed or registered only when it does not claim exclusive ownership of shared source material or create false claims against other licensed users.

All Packs Library

Access options, content and updates

What is the All Packs Library?

The All Packs Library is the largest Soul Chemist sound source, with more than 80,000 premium WAV samples and more than 80 GB of drums, one shots, breaks, textures, effects and melodic material organised for production.

Explore All Packs Library →
What is the difference between Annual and Lifetime access?

Annual Access provides the complete current sample library for twelve months. Lifetime Access provides permanent access and includes future sample releases and ongoing sample library updates as described on the product page.

Explore All Packs Library →
Are MPC Expansions included in every All Packs option?

No. MPC Expansions are included only with the access option that explicitly includes the MPC expansion collection. Standard Annual and Lifetime sample library access do not automatically include the dedicated MPC expansion collection.

Is the All Packs Library compatible with my setup?

The core WAV library works with all major DAWs and WAV compatible samplers, including Maschine, MPC and SP workflows. Dedicated MPC expansion content is included only where the selected plan states that it is included.

How are future All Packs updates delivered?

Future sample releases and updates are included with the eligible Lifetime options as described on the product page. Keep the purchase email and use the same customer details when requesting library support.

Custom Studio

Briefs, production and revisions

How does a custom order work?

Choose the custom service, complete the creative brief and send your references. The request is reviewed personally. After approval you receive an invoice, payment secures the production slot and work begins once the direction and payment are confirmed.

What custom services are available?

Soul Chemist offers Custom Sample Packs, Custom Drum Packs and Custom MPC Expansions. Each service is built around your references, workflow and project goals.

How long does a custom project take?

Production time depends on the service, selected plan, current queue and complexity of the brief. The relevant custom service page shows the current estimate and the timing is confirmed after the request is reviewed.

Are custom packs exclusive?

Exclusivity depends on the specific service and plan selected. Review the plan details before submitting because standard and exclusive custom options do not carry the same usage rights.

Can I request revisions?

Revision allowances depend on the selected plan and must remain within the original approved direction. A completely new reference set, sound or creative direction can require a separate quote.

Will you copy the exact sound from my references?

No. References are used to understand mood, era, groove, texture, BPM and production language. Protected audio is not copied or extracted. The goal is original material built around your direction.

Payments & Support

Checkout, refunds and account help

Which payment methods are accepted?

Available payment methods are shown securely at checkout and can vary by country, device and payment provider. Card payments, PayPal and supported accelerated methods can appear depending on your checkout.

Will I be charged taxes or currency conversion fees?

Checkout displays the applicable currency and any taxes collected by the store. Your bank or payment provider can apply its own currency conversion or processing fees, which are outside Soul Chemist control.

Can I get a refund on a digital product?

Digital purchases are generally final once the content has been delivered, made available or accessed. This does not remove mandatory consumer rights for content that is defective, corrupted, incomplete or not supplied as described. Review the Refund Policy before purchasing.

Read Refund Policy →
I purchased the same product twice or was charged incorrectly.

Contact support as soon as possible with both order numbers, the checkout email and proof of the charge. The transaction can then be reviewed and the appropriate solution provided when the duplicate or incorrect charge is verified.

Contact Support →
Do I need a customer account?

Most standard digital purchases can be delivered without requiring an account. Some protected services or libraries can use account based access. Follow the instructions supplied with the specific product or service.

What information should I send to support?

Include the order number, checkout email, product name, exact issue and screenshots whenever possible. For technical problems also include your software or hardware model, version and the method you already tried.
