    • Tube Synth
    • Electric
    • Bassline
    • Hybrid 3

  6. Once enabled, these synth engine plugins will appear in your MPC Plugins list, ready for use in your projects.

How to Access Hybrid 3 if It’s Missing:

  1. If Hybrid 3 is missing from your plugin list:

    • Go to View > Expansion Manager.
    • Find Hybrid 3 in the list and tick the box next to it to enable it.
