The Native Instruments MPC Expansion Faded Reels is a Lo-Fi focussed sample library, specifically designed for Akai MPC Pro hardware and software. Packed with fuzzy chords, cosy keys, dusty drum kits and pastel textures, it lets you build mood-led ideas quickly without heavy processing. Each sound is recorded with live instruments and classic hardware, then resampled to tape and vintage samplers for gentle saturation and a rounded top end. The result is a warm, nostalgic character that drops into modern mixes with minimal tweaking. It’s fully formatted for Akai Pro MPC hardware, so all samples and loops load neatly and map as you’d expect, keeping your hands on the music rather than the menus.
Inside you’ll find 43 MPC kits, 37 playable instrument presets, 478 drum hits, 64 tempo-friendly loops and 177 one-shots. Use the loops to spark arrangements, layer the keys for instant harmony, and lean on the textured drums when you need grit that still sits right. The library has been curated to work as a cohesive palette, making it straightforward to swap sounds without upsetting your balance. Created in collaboration with MSXII, Faded Reels brings a vintage feel with modern convenience, ideal for soulful hip hop, chilled beats and atmospheric cues where tone and texture matter.
