What it is
TPMC is an MPC converter emulation plugin built in collaboration between Metric Halo and Terrace Martin's x Make Believe Studios. It models the exact signal path of Terrace Martin's personal MPC3000, capturing the 16-bit converter character that defined the sound of 1990s and early 2000s hip-hop and R&B. That distinctive warmth, grit, and "knock" that made classic boom-bap records hit so hard - this is where it came from, and TPMC brings it directly into your DAW.
Who it's for
Beat makers and producers working in hip-hop, R&B, and lo-fi who want to add authentic MPC-era texture to drums, bass, samples, and vocals. If you've spent hours trying to EQ or saturate your way to that classic sound without success, TPMC offers a direct line to it.
