Syntaur Productions and MPCsounds.com Launch Hip-Hop Library
July 11, 2001The Akai MPC samplers, the reigning kings of the hip-hop industry, now
have a
massive new library of radio-ready drum sounds available. The library
was created as a
joint venture between MPCsounds.com and Syntaur Productions, and was
produced by
Kyle Kee (aka "KeeMaster") of MPCsounds. The library was conceived and
designed as a
tool for serious hip-hop producers, created by those who have worked on
the top-selling
records in the genre.
"Our KeeMaster series of Ensoniq EPS/ASR samples has become a staple in
the
hip-hop world," said Sam Mims, president of Syntaur Productions. "So
this MPC library
is a natural extension from that. We're entering the Akai market with
lots of credibility
from having served the hip-hop market for years, and with Kyle's
credentials as a
producer/engineer for artists like Juvenile, Ideal, Scarface, Hot Boys,
Lil' Troy, South
Park Mexican, Yungstar, Lil' Keke, and tons of others."
The MPCsounds library combines Kee's creative sound design techniques
with
Syntaur's impeccable programming standards, resulting in 45 floppy disks
of cutting-edge
drum sounds. Each three-disk set contains 72 kick drums, 60 snares, and
60 hi-hat and
percussion sounds, and sells for $29.95. The disks work on the Akai
MPC-3000 and
MPC-2000 drum machines, and will also be available soon in Ensoniq
EPS/ASR format. For more information, visit their web site at www.mpcsounds.com. |
