Metric Halo x Make Believe Studios TPMC
MPC Converter Emulation Plugin
To build TMPC, Metric Halo captured and lovingly modeled the unique signal path character of Terrace Martin’s MPC3000.
Terrace is an 8 time Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, rapper, singer, and record producer known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, Herbie Hancock, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, the Game, Busta Rhymes, Charlie Wilson, Raphael Saadiq and YG as well as his own Grammy-nominated productions.
This device has long been valued for its distinctive 16-bit converter sound, which imparts a unique character and impact often described as "knock" to drums and samples.
"The magical thing about my people at Make Believe is that they captured the very element [of the MPC] that I've been missing out of these computers. They were able to capture the original sound of the converter and bring it to you.
It brings that true 16-bit 90s-early 2000s Hip-Hop R&B sound directly to you in your DAW.
I feel like music of today is missing that true bottom end, everybody wants to use plugins to try to enhance something, but the truth is, I feel like the source needs to be strong and this is giving you a strong source to start with." - Terrace Martin
Designed for songwriters, producers, musicians, beat makers, multi-instrumentalist and anyone who wants to take a Jazz song and turn it into Hip Hop.
Easily add that hip hop knock and finely controllable layered distortion and character to everything from drums, bass, to vocals, as if it was sampled that way right at the source.
