Akai MPC 1000 Reverb Impulse Responses

This is a collection of impulse responses for the reverb effect on the Akai MPC 1000. These files can be loaded into a convolution reverb to simulate the processing of the Akai MPC 1000. Each response was recorded directly using a transient sample. The reverb effect has four parameters: Input Filter, Time, HF Damp (High-frequency damping) and Reverb Level. Input Filter was set to 32 for all samples to fully open the filter and bypass most of its effect. This could be simulated by adding a filter plugin before the convolution reverb. Reverb Level was set to 99 to get the maximum possible signal level. Time and HF Damp were varied for each sample to allow a range of options. Time was sampled in roughly 10 unit increments, from 0 to 99. HF Damp was sampled in 8 unit increments, from 0 to 32.

The filenames are marked with the settings. For example,

MPC1000-HF24-T30.wav

means HF Damp was set to 24 and Time was set to 30.

Responses were tested with Convolution Reverb plugin packaged in Max for Live as included in Live 9 Suite. These files should also work in any other convolution reverb which accepts a directly recorded response.
