Stacks

Contemporary Crate Digging Textures

• Dusty textures and organic blends from the sample-drenched soul of cult underground hip hop
• Over 150 presets of loose leads, off-kilter keys and organs, live bass, horns, strings, and vintage synths
• Sounds sampled and resampled using original hardware and effects, plus tried-and-tested signal chains and techniques

Crates of wax, dusty sleeves, and sampled beats: STACKS packs the building blocks of 2000s-era, sample-heavy hip hop into a Play Series instrument full of leads, strings, horns, bass, and sounds influenced by crate digging dedication. Dive deep into the same sounds you’d hear on old-school gems – electric keys, organs, glocks, strings, horns, live bass, and beyond – resampled and processed using tape decks and hardware until they hit the spot. Think collages of funk fused with lo-fi soul, pop lines, and organic left-field bass built for the art of beatmaking.

Soul Sessions

Decades of Soul Sound

• Keys, live guitar, bass, sax, trumpets, vintage synths, and more inspired by the evolution of soul music
• 150 tweakable presets of hybrid sounds for creating soul-drenched melodics and bass
• Pop the hood to sculpt tones, create new hybrid layers, and shape your sounds with powerful effects, custom macros, sequencing tools, and more

Funky, swinging, smooth, low-strung – soul isn’t so much a genre as a feeling! SOUL SESSIONS combines 50 years of signature soul sounds into a hybrid instrument that can do everything from 60s-style dusky horns, to 70s-era bass plucks and buttery organ keys, to the versatile synths stylings of the 80s, and the smoother-than-smooth production aesthetic of 90s neo-soul. Soften up harder beats with a little R&B mood-making, give contemporary jazz and soul a hybrid sound-design edge, or bring loose, laid-back organic tones to left-field electronic productions.

SOUL SESSIONS was created in collaboration with MSXII.
