Akai has teamed up with Loopmasters to provide a new range of exclusive Samplepacks for MPC users.

The first four Samplepack titles are Hip-Hop, House, Drum n' Bass and Trance & Techno; more Samplepacks will be available on a monthly basis from the Loopmasters team, whose goal is to handpick the best producers in the world to produce their copyright free sample collections. Each pack's range of content includes patch phrases, single hits, beats, loops and instrument multisamples.

The Samplepacks can be snagged for $49, so head on over to the brand new Akai Pro Website at www.akaipro.com/samplepacks for more information and MP3 examples.
