Introducing EMPIRE BREAKS | Native Instruments

EMPIRE BREAKS packs the timeless essence of classic, sample-based drums into an inspiring Play Series instrument that unlocks the rhythmic sound of golden-era hip hop. Every kick, clap, tom, and hat is captured from brand-new, vintage-style drum recordings, processed with classic gear, and delivered with multiple velocity layers for kits that sound totally natural. Play beats live the old-school way, or draw from a range of custom-made patterns, then dial in extra grit, groove, and swing with a range of easy-to-use macro controls for bodega-dwelling, boombox-blasting beats.

I have so many drums like everyone else. After playing with this for 1 hour, it’s a must buy no question. It isn’t just the same recycled stuff at all. Super well done and tons of possibilities with midi drag/drop + swapping sounds. It’s got a vibe. Well done

I love how Native Instruments creates a unique universe with its Kontakt Play series for all types and sounds of music, each bank has its own personality while being easy and intuitive to use while offering a multitude of uses different without getting lost, I say a big congratulations to this company capable of producing such musical tools while taking care of their visual side, whether in this Play Series or in their other incredible products! 🔥👏

I love how someone modelled all this stuff in blender just for an intro video

[phelper]

It’s about time that the Maschine+ gets official Kontakt support🔥

[TommyVarekai]

Should make a 90s big beat breaks/kits!

[zeroherobeatspaul]

Instant buy, even though I have many samples and drum vests. It's inspiring, with ready to go presets and rhythms, and so much room to tweak everything. I know I sound like a fanboy, but I can't help it.

[CRETELOVEE]

For all the people asking for new plugins for #MASCHINE+, of course, having other plugins for this one in standalone would be very comfortable and useful for all MASCHINE+ users, but this one is equipped with a processor, certainly quite powerful to run some synthesizers like Massive, Monark, FM8..., but with its limits! Like its 4GB RAM which certainly allows you to run several synthesizers and kits from Expansions at the same time but to a limited amount (Like your personal computer), so running more resource-demanding plugins would BE POSSIBLY ARRIVE on MASCHINE+ but I would ask an extreme optimization to make one work at the same time as others! MASCHINE+ is a standalone groovebox WITH ITS LIMITS like any device and Native Instruments still delivered us an improved #MASCHINEMK3 able to work on its own to produce your music wherever you want at a relatively comfortable price, but that said, Native Instruments could possibly offer us compatibility of other of their products requiring less resources to run on MASCHINE+, therefore, let's wait for further information from #NativeInstruments about this!

real nice - brought back memories of "Empire Records" movie for some reason. That Liv.

[kjfromocpodcast]

Is this on Spotify? Or music like this similar on Spotify?

[adolfobastidas]

Please!

How can I use each sound individually and load them on the pads?

[Anthony]

Do these breaks work in Logic even if I don't have the Native Instruments plugin?

[DaddyKing]

As an older artist, I struggle the most with implementing 808s and Hi Hats. Based on this advertisement you produce a bread and butter drum beat that any producer can do. Is there a section in this specific product that caters to Trap Style drums? Trap Style Drums are now so popular it even influences the simpliest pop style music in 2022. Nothing in this advertisement makes me wanna reach for my credit card. If I hear a beat like Bodak Yellow I start reaching and I'm not even a fan of Trap.

[BuenoLaidley]

Can you guys do a Play Series Instrument that only has 808 basses please???

[EBMZEQUENZER]

Is maschine software DEAD? Nothing is happening + zero announcements ?

[chandeleerjet]

I just bought komplete ultimate can I get it free or at discount?

[Driftuner]

I cant be the only one that immediately heard and saw GTA San Andreas in this clip...
