21st Century Patches From an Analogue Legend
As a modern music producer, you may find it challenging to capture the true essence of vintage synthesiser sounds that bring a nostalgic vibe to your tracks. The iconic analogue warmth of classic synths like the Prophet 5 is often missing in today's digital-heavy productions.
As a modern music producer, you may find it challenging to capture the true essence of vintage synthesiser sounds that bring a nostalgic vibe to your tracks. The iconic analogue warmth of classic synths like the Prophet 5 is often missing in today's digital-heavy productions.
By using F9 Mercury P5 you'll have access to a treasure trove of meticulously crafted sounds, capturing the true essence of this legendary instrument using the built-in sampler tools of your DAW, or Kontakt. From lush pads to soaring leads, this pack is a must-have for any producer seeking to infuse their creations with the timeless character of a truly classic analogue synth.
The 144 Multi-sampled patches inside this collection perfectly capture the lush warmth and exhilarating motion of the P5.
Only round-robin sampling can accomplish such a feat - This process records multiple samples at the same pitch, complete with the phase and pitch differences of the analogue sources and then rotates around this sample set, breathing life into what would normally be a static sampling process. Think of this as a miniature film instead of a single photograph. The results are full of energy, life and inspiration.
Multiple recording chains were used throughout the 5-month period of sampling. Everything from API, Neve and our new favourite - an A-Designs RED-DI that packs a huge tube punch before we even get into further analogue processing.
This pack is formatted for the following :
Logic Pro 10.2 Onwards ( including all Apple Silicon and modern OSX editions )
Kontakt 5.8.1 onwards ( Including Kontakt 6 and 7 )*
* Kontakt users - A 'Full' install of Kontakt is required. This release will not work correctly with the Kontakt Player or other Free editions of Kontakt bundled with Maschine or Komplete Kontrol - Please check your install level using Native Access.
Demo Sessions
While many patch-based sample packs provide great sounds, few show you how to use them to their full potential. This is what sets F9 apart from the rest. F9 Mercury P5 DAW editions come with 5 meticulously crafted projects that showcase the included content, along with 5 sets of expertly produced drum stems.
By triggering the multi-sampled instruments in this library with MIDI, we can demonstrate just how powerful these analogue-sourced sounds are, using nothing more than the stock plugins in your DAW. Experience the true potential of your DAW when it's given high-quality raw material to work with.
Furthermore, this is our first release that supports Bitwig, and we've fully leveraged its excellent modulation capabilities and MPE expression technology in these projects.
Kontakt GUI
This release sees the 1st outing of our new Kontakt script incorporating many often-requested features. We have tried to keep this as useful, yet simple as possible. Direct access to the excellent SSL style EQ at the bottom of the design has proven an amazing late edition.
Additional Kits
As a bonus, this release also includes 5 drum kits, each formatted for all available editions, with additional formats for Battery 4 and MPC.
Akai has also released a version of MPC software called MPC Beats, which is available as a standalone app and a plug-in for all major formats. We highly recommend that all producers take advantage of this amazing gift to the production community. The software is available HERE
The additional kits require:
NI Battery 4

A Personal Note -
When I was 14 years old, I stumbled upon my first analogue synthesizer. A band was setting up on stage at a local theatre, and after accidentally entering through the wrong door during a tour of my local 6th-form college, the keyboard player noticed my fascination and allowed me to experiment with his instrument for thirty minutes. Despite my extreme lack of playing ability at the time, I was completely enthralled by the endless potential and exhilarating feeling of tweaking every knob and switch within my immature grasp.
That experience sparked an obsession with synthesis that I have never forgotten. After decades of working at every level in the industry, I now have a platform to share that joy with others. We believe that certain synths are classic for a reason, and our goal is to bring as much of their wonderful, emotive tones to the production community as possible – at prices that are realistic for the modern industry.
It is my sincere hope that this pack, and others like it, inspire some truly amazing music.

How many times have you pulled up a bass sound, only to end up with 16 plugins hanging off it to make it fit?
What if someone had done all that hard work already? - gotten the subs under control, used harmonic processing and hi-end hardware to bring out the weight needed for a modern club record whilst still making sure the ‘note’ is singing out for small speakers?
Wouldn’t it be perfect if that was wrapped up in a format that loaded nearly instantly in your DAW ( in under 1 second on a modern SSD ) with decent macro-control and that didn’t need updating every single time your OS or Music apps did ?…. And added 135 bassline midi files ?
