Spitfire Audio<\/a>\u2019s best-selling Originals range is coming to the growing Akai Professional<\/a> MPC ecosystem, the two companies have confirmed.<\/p>\n

Things are going to plan, then, after Akai and Spitfire announced a new \u201cstrategic partnership\u201d<\/a> during this year\u2019s NAMM Show, with the intention of bringing its professional-quality instrument libraries to Akai MPC users.<\/p>\n

At launch, Spitfire Audio\u2019s Originals Intimate Strings and Originals Cinematic Pads are available within the Akai MPC workflow.<\/p>\n

The former is described as one of Spitfire\u2019s \u201cmost emotionally resonant chamber string libraries\u201d, captured using \u201c25 of London\u2019s finest players\u201d with pristine microphones, and featuring Expression and Dynamic sliders, plus a high-quality reverb for comprehensive sound control.<\/p>\n

Originals Cinematic Pads, on the other hand, features 23 presets of evolving atmospheric pads, blending orchestral sounds, synth elements and processed textures, and offering parameters including Reverb, Attack, Release and Distort, alongside Mellow, Bright and Cinematic signal options.<\/p>\n

\u201cAkai Professional gear has been with me for most of my music career \u2013 I even started out writing orchestral drama underscores on an MPC60,\u201d says Paul Thomson, Founder, Spitfire Audio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing our Originals libraries into that ecosystem is such an exciting next step. These libraries were made to be played expressively, and the MPC line gives musicians exactly that. I can\u2019t wait to see what musicians create when the two come together!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MPC has always been about giving producers the tools to build something real \u2014 something with feeling,\u201d adds Andy Mac, Creative Global Marketing, Akai Professional.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing Spitfire Audio\u2019s Originals libraries into the MPC ecosystem means producers now have access to some of the most expressive, cinematic sounds ever recorded, right at their fingertips on the pads. Whether you\u2019re scoring a scene or building a beat, Intimate Strings and Cinematic Pads were made for exactly the kind of music MPC producers make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Originals Intimate Strings and Cinematic Pads are available on MPC OS 3.7.1 now, priced at \u00a329 \/ $29 \/ \u20ac29 each.<\/p>\n
