15 Drum KitsMPC EXPANSION

15 tech house drum kits, already mapped, colour-coded and playable on your MPC. Load and play.

You can get these sounds for free. What you can't get for free is the hour spent mapping them across pads, matching levels, assigning colours and rendering a preview for every kit. That work is the product.

Every kit sits on a single pad bank, laid out the way finger drummers actually play — kick bottom-left where your hand already is, snare beside it, closed hats through the middle, and a second kick and snare so you can roll them with alternating fingers. Colour-coded to Akai's own scheme, so your muscle memory carries across all fifteen kits without relearning a thing.

Open hats ring out rather than choke. This is tech house, not an impression of a drummer.

Fifteen kits: Blackout, Concrete, Diesel, Jackhammer, Mayhem, Razor, Rebel, Ripper, Rogue, Savage, Striker, Swagger, Vandal, Vibe and Wreck. Each one a complete 16-pad drum program with an audio preview you can audition straight from the MPC browser.

Every sound you hear in the demo was made using only this pack.

One Layout. Fifteen kits.

Every kit in this pack uses the same sixteen pads in the same order. Kick bottom left, where your hand already rests. Snare next to it. Closed hats through the middle. Cymbals and percussion up top.

Pads 1 and 5 are both the kick. Pads 2 and 6 are both the snare. That duplication is deliberate. A fast roll on a single pad runs into the limit of one finger, but spread across two pads you alternate fingers and it stays even. It is the same reason a drummer holds two sticks.

Swap from Blackout to Wreck and nothing moves. The pads recolour, the sound changes, your hands carry on. Learn the layout once and it works across all fifteen.

Built for the Pads

Already Mapped

Sixteen pads, laid out the way finger drummers actually play. Kick bottom-left where your hand already is, snare beside it, closed hats through the middle. A second kick and snare sit directly above, so fast rolls are played with alternating fingers instead of one finger hammering a single pad.

Colour-Coded

Red kicks, yellow snares and claps, brown hats and cymbals, blue percussion. Akai's own scheme, applied identically across all fifteen kits. Swap kit and the pads recolour to the same map, so nothing has to be relearned.

Two Editions

Standard runs at 44.1kHz/16-bit, matching the MPC's internal engine, and is the smaller download. Studio runs at 48kHz/24-bit, the original source resolution. Both contain the same fifteen kits. Install one, not both.

Will this work on my MPC?

Yes, if your MPC is a standalone unit running MPC 3 firmware (v3.x). That covers the MPC Live, MPC Live II, MPC One, MPC One+, MPC X, MPC X SE, MPC Key 61 and MPC Key 37. We built and tested this on an MPC Live 3.

It will not load on MPC 2.x firmware, on MPC Beats, or in the MPC Software 2.15 desktop app. It does load in the MPC 3 Desktop software, although that is currently a public beta.

Not sure what your MPC is running? Email us before you buy and we will check it with you.

I already have the free Tech House Drums pack. Why buy this?

The sounds are identical. That is the point. You already know they are good.

What you are buying is the work. Every sample is already mapped across sixteen pads in a finger drumming layout, colour-coded by drum type, levelled, and given an audio preview you can audition straight from the MPC browser. Fifteen kits, built and ready.

You could do all of that yourself from the free pack. It would take you an afternoon. This is the afternoon, done.

Which edition should I install, Standard or Studio?

Standard, unless you have a specific reason not to. It runs at 44.1kHz and 16 bit, which matches the MPC's internal engine, and it is the smaller download.

Studio runs at 48kHz and 24 bit, the original source resolution, for anyone who wants the maximum headroom.

Both contain exactly the same fifteen kits. Install one, not both. Installing both will show two near identical expansions in your MPC browser.

How do I install it?

Unzip the download, then copy the expansion folder into the Expansions folder on your MPC's SD card, USB drive or internal drive. If there is no Expansions folder, create one at the root of the drive.

Restart your MPC and it will appear under Browser, then Expansions. There is no installer to run, and a README is included in the download.

What if it doesn't work on my setup?

Then you get your money back, no argument.

If these kits do not load, do not work on your gear, or you hit a snag we cannot sort quickly, email us and we will refund you in full. We would rather you got your money back than be left with something that will not run.
