MPC Samples MPC Electric Guitar MPC ExpansionNew Release! Deeply multisampled electric guitar, packed with presets, Q-LINK macros and MIDI patterns. The ultimate MPC guitar expansion

MPC-Samples is proud to present our most popular expansion request in recent years, MPC Electric Guitar, featuring an immaculately multisampled Fender 1952 Custom Shop Relic Telecaster guitar.

MPC Electric Guitar takes full advantage of MPC3s powerful new features to create deeply sampled, highly expressive instruments that allow you to producev truly realistic and authentic sounding electric guitar performances inside your MPC, packed with all the natural nuances and unique character found in the original guitar.

The Instruments

The expansion is built around two primary instruments each featuring extensive and highly flexible ‘keyboard splits’ that provide multiple articulations and sound FX within a single track.

The main instrument is built using a full natural note range of of ‘sustain’ notes which can be used to create rich and full sounding chords, strums, arpeggios, melodies and lead lines. Each note features multiple velocity layers with up to 4 round robins per layer to ensure a different timbre each time the note is played.

The lower octaves on the same instrument feature ‘palm muted’ notes which can be used to add depth, variety and dynamic texture to any guitar performance.

Spare notes on the key range are dedicated to natural guitar noises such as string squeaks, knocks, slaps and bumps alongside controllable ‘note off’ string release noises, which when combined together add extra dimensions of realism to every performance.

For a completely different vibe, the dedicated ‘harmonics’ instrument contains four octaves of ‘pinch harmonics’ combined with 2.5 octave set of mellow ‘open string harmonics’. Use this instrument to create ethereal, haunting arpeggiated chord sequences and melodies.

In addition to the two core instruments we’ve carefully crafted an inspiring collection of 44 genre-spanning presets which cover a broad range of different guitar tones and vibes, all quick loading and ready-to-play.

Instruments are all fully compatible with ‘pad perform’ mode and can also be played with any attached keyboard controller, with full support for pitch bending and mod wheel controlled vibrato.

And for instant inspiration, drop in a pattern from the included melodic MIDI library of authentic sounding guitar riffs, strummed chords and arppegiated sequences, all built from real guitar performances and packed with live nuance and feel.

Craft Your Own tone

You can also easily sculpt your own unique guitar tones using the many pre-configured Q-LINK macros found in each instrument. Adjust amp tone, distortion, ambience, lofi FX, delay and modulation and tailor the mechanics of the guitar sound including string releases, dynamic range, attack transients, bite, and string dampening.

And if you’re looking to develop something truly unique we’ve added a customisable synth layer which can be filtered and blended in with the main guitar sound to create more complex, cinematic textures. Choose from five different synth oscillators and 24 different filters, all controllable from dedicated Q-LINK dials.

Optimised For Standalone

As with all our MPC instrument expansions, memory and CPU usage is highly optimised to ensure you have absolutely no problems dropping these instruments into any MPC project. Not only do you get a significantly more realistic sounding electric guitar compared to the presets in a plugin like Fabric XL, these instruments use less memory, less CPU, and don’t eat into any of your allotted plugin slots.

MPC3 & MPC2 Support

MPC Electric Guitar takes full advantage of the power of MPC3 and is fully compatible with standalone MPC 3.5+ and MPC Software 3.5+, as well as Force 3.5+.

MPC2 users are also fully supported with additional versions of all instruments optimised for MPC2.15+ (and Force 3.3), all containing the exact same number of articulations, velocity layers, presets and MIDI patterns but with just a single sample per velocity layer and reduced Q-LINK control.

All instruments and patterns come with a baked-in browser previews and are fully organised and ‘tagged’ for rapid browser searching. For more details about the expansion and how to use the provided instruments and patterns, check out the extensive
