Sound Banks for the MPC5000 that should be usable in the Fusion

These MPC5000 Epiano sounds are very good

"One of the biggest feature requests since launching the original Electric Keys was to increase the number of velocity layers used in each instrument, as some felt 4 layers simply isn’t enough to capture the wide ranging dynamics found on electric pianos such as Rhodes and Wurlitzers.

So we’re proud to say that, not only did we increase the number of layers on these pianos, we actually doubled them, with most instruments now featuring a whopping 8 velocity levels, smoothly capturing each piano’s full tonal range.

And thanks to some serious sample and program optimisation, memory usage is fantastically low, with a typical 8 layer program leaving approximately 93% of system memory still available! And if memory is super tight, we’ve also included 4 layer ‘compact’ editions that further halve memory usage.

Each instrument comes with its own unique browser preview so you can quickly select the most suitable patch from the MPC browser. We’ve also included all these previews as 65 separate MIDI pattern files which you can load into any track to use as a starting point for your own melodies, chords and riffs."

FAQ
Does this work in standalone MPCs and the Akai Force?
Yes, it's 100% compatible with the MPC X, MPC Live, MPC One and Akai Force and features memory-optimsed programs made with standalone use in mind. We've included a dedicated 'standalone' installer for easy drag-and-drop installation to your standalone MPC disk (plus an XPN file for optional MPC Software installation).

Are the patches easy to edit?
Yes, they use standard keygroup programs so you can easily edit effects and programs parameters such as LFO, filter, envelopes etc.

How did you get 8 velocity layers? Doesn't the MPC only have 4?
An MPC keygroup program has 4 velocity layers per keygroup, so we can achieve 8 velocity layers by assigning two keygroups to the same note, with one keygroup handling lower four layers, and the second keygroup handling the higher four. Then repeat this for all the required notes - find out more in MPC-Tutor's 8 layer MPC instrument tutorial.

Do these pianos require a lot of memory?
No! We've spent a lot of time optimising the instruments use the smallest memory possible - and once a piano is loaded into RAM you can load all its patches without using any additional RAM (all patches for a particular piano share the same underlying samples). Loading an 8 velocity piano and all its patches leaves around 93% of system memory still available.
