Syntaur Releases SP Drumz for Akai

The 12-bit crunch of the E-mu SP-12 and SP-1200 drum machines is now available to lock and load directly into the Akai MPC samplers. The SP is a true HipHop classic, and these dark and gritty sounds from Syntaur Productions capture the smack and crack of these vintage machines.

Ideal for Dirty South and Old Skool styles according to the company, this set is loaded with kicks, snares, and hi-hats and percussion sounds created on the SP. Each drum kit (SP Drumz 1, SP Drumz 2, and SP Drumz 3) contains four full Banks of sounds, with 6 kicks, 5 snares, and 5 hi-hat and percussion sounds in each Bank. Plus, the percussion kits (SP Perkussion 1 and SP Perkussion 2) add a truckload of additional rhythm sounds.

"SP Drumz" is available now for $29.95 on three floppy disks, or as part of the DrumBox Zip Disk or CD-ROM ("SP Drumz" bundled together with Syntaur's "Beat Boxes" collection) for $59.95.
