Where to get itIncluded with FL Studio. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.image-line.com

FPC is a software drum machine plugin modeled after the hardware Akai MPC™ unit, designed as a self-contained multi-layer/velocity sample player for creating and editing drum kits.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Multi-layer velocity-sensitive samples with Cycle and Random layer modes
02Volume, Pan, and Pitch envelope controls with ADSR and unlimited spline segments
03Cut and Cut-By controls for note-stopping interactions between pads
04Pattern Manager for loading MIDI percussion loops into the Piano roll
05Pad-Bank A and Pad Banks A+B touch-optimized layout modes
06Import DirectWave programs (.dwp) and export as SFZ format
07Output Offset for routing individual pads to separate mixer tracks

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Random layers with overlapping velocity ranges and choose 'Random (avoid previous)' to eliminate mechanical-sounding repeated hits during fast playing
  • 02Drag multiple samples onto a single Pad and select 'Spread Even' to automatically distribute their velocity ranges from minimum to maximum input velocity
  • 03Right-click on a sample preview window and select 'Select region' to isolate and play specific regions from drum loop samples with embedded region data
  • 04Set the CUT and BY values to the same number on a Pad to make it cut (stop) its own notes, useful for controlling sustain on samples like cymbal rolls
