AKAI Professional 2 Step Garage

One of my favourite MPC Expansions. I don't make UK Garage, but I really like these drums. They're a bit overloaded with effects, especially distortion, and sound a bit harsh, but once the effects are removed the basic samples are very good, and the kits well balanced. There's a tendency for current MPC expansions to use lots of insert effects on multiple drum elements, with everything in it's own reverb spaces, and distortion all over the place. Much better to set up a reverb on a send, and have the drums in the same virtual space with the rest of the music.
