A classic ARP mono-synth, meticulously multi-sampled.

As a minimalist monophonic synthesizer from the 70s, the ARP AXXE is as straightforward as it gets: Single oscillator, one envelope generator, a simple low-pass filter, white noise generator, pwm... However, it still manages to achieve that delightfully gnarly ARP sound that's so unique to everything this little New England-based synth manufacturer put together.

This pack of carefully multi-sampled AXXE patches is a tribute to this simple synth's greatness and contains tons of musical and useful sounds that are just as relevant today as they were back when this little synth hit store shelves. From solid basses to quirky plucks, from noise crashes to surprisingly competent synth drums - this pack is sure to inspire you.

No corners were cut during the sampling process and every single patch was recorded one semitone at a time for consistent timbre and maximum authenticity. Additionally, each note was tuned individually to make sure this pack can work along all your other instruments and samples.

Recorded with Rheingold music cables and high-end Antelope Audio converters, these samples are pristine and endlessly tweakable. To make sure that this pack is useful for everyone, I'm offering you these patches in a whole load of different formats so that you can bring them into your favorite sampler. Even hardware workstations are accounted for with a full MPC Expansion and files for various KORG machines.

To install this expansion for use with the MPC 2 software all you need to do is drag and drop the .xpn file right into the software and it will be added to your library. In order to install this expansion on a standalone MPC (like the MPC One, Live, or X) you will have to first import the expansion into the MPC 2 software and then convert it into standalone format using the MPC Expansion Manager built into the application. The contents of the expansion can be extracted directly onto your MPC's internal drive. a USB drive, or an SD Card.

For more information please refer to these official articles:

How to install and use MPC Expansions

If you're using your MPC exclusively in standalone mode you can download the "standalone format" version of the pack and copy it directly into the expansions folder on your MPC's internal drive or on whichever expanded storage you're using (USB, SD Card, SSD, etc.).

Once your expansion is installed, it will show up on the Expansions page in the MPC's browser. In the MPC software your expansions will show in the right sidebar.
