Studiolinked Vinyl Classics-Motown Edition for Kontakt
Vinyl Classics-Motown Edition takes the art of sampling to another level. This is a comprehensive Kontakt library inspired by the sound of the 1960s and 70s soul era — the golden age of Motown — designed for producers who want authentic vintage character in their hip hop productions. Inspired by the production styles of Kanye West and Just Blaze, this library captures the warmth, grit, and musicality of classic soul samples.
With 50 sample kits, each mapped to 12 MPC-style pads with individual volume sliders and pan controls, Vinyl Classics-Motown Edition gives you hands-on control over your samples. The built-in effects let you shape and process sounds without leaving the interface, and the Signature Key FX (K-FX) section adds unique processing options for creative sound design.

Sample Kits and Pads
Each of the 50 sample kits contains 12 carefully selected samples mapped to MPC-style pads. The samples are drawn from vintage soul and Motown-inspired material, capturing the warm, gritty character that defines classic hip hop production. The pads are laid out in a familiar 4×3 grid that mimics the MPC workflow, making it easy to trigger samples in real time for finger drumming or pattern programming.
The Mix Page gives you 12 individual volume sliders and pan controls — one for each pad. This lets you balance your samples within a kit, create dynamic level changes, and position sounds in the stereo field without extra processing. It’s a simple but powerful mixing setup that keeps you in the creative flow.
Effects and Processing
The effects section includes everything you need to shape your sounds: tuning adjustment for pitch control, reverb for space, delay for rhythmic effects, lo-fi processing for added grit, and low-pass and high-pass filters for tonal shaping. The Signature Key FX (K-FX) section adds five unique processors:
- Pitch Env — Pitch envelope modulation for time-stretched effects and risers
- Glitcher — Stutter and glitch effects for rhythmic manipulation
- Panner — Auto-panning for movement and spatial effects
- Filter — Additional filter options beyond the standard LPF/HPF
- Cabinet — Speaker cabinet simulation for lo-fi character
