The AKAI Pro MSXII Sound Design Tape Series Vol.1 is an MPC expansion built around one idea: tape-weighted drums and loops that feel played, not programmed. MSXII processed each sound through analog-style saturation so kicks, snares, and melodic chops carry warmth before you touch a fader.
Install the expansion on MPC One, Live, X, Key 61, or MPC Software on Mac/Windows. Kits arrive pre-mapped with sensible pad layout — load a program and start finger-drumming or sequencing immediately.
MPC Workflow First
Unlike generic WAV folders, this is a true .XPN expansion. Programs, keygroups, and kit assignments stay intact. Tweak pitch, filter cutoff, and envelope decay per pad inside the MPC environment, then print to your DAW if you prefer hybrid workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an MPC to use this expansion?
You need MPC Software or supported MPC hardware. The content installs as an XPN expansion — it is not a standalone WAV folder pack.
Can I export sounds to my DAW?
Yes. Render pads or full sequences from MPC Software into WAV and import into Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, or any DAW.
What genres does Tape Series Vol.1 cover best?
Lo-fi, boom bap, soulful hip-hop, and textured R&B. The tape processing adds grit that suits dusty drums and mellow chords.
How much disk space does the expansion need?
Plan for roughly 1–2 GB after install depending on MPC Software version. Use a stable connection for the initial download.
Can I sell beats made with these sounds?
Yes — royalty-free for commercial beat sales and releases. Do not redistribute the raw expansion files.
Where does the download link go after purchase?
Email and order confirmation page, typically within a few hours. Contact support if MPC Software does not detect the expansion after install.
