Pad Thai Deluxe features the cream of the crop taken from Marco Polo's highly acclaimed and internationally known" Pad Thai" drum kit series. Known for having some of the hardest and dustiest drums in the game, Marco Polo has spent years digging for records and applying that same approach to assembling his drum kits. Marco has produced for some of the greats in Hip Hop such as Rakim, Scarface, Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch, Westside Gunn & Talib Kweli, to name a few. This is essentially Pad thai on a whole new level with 24 brand new fully composed beats/pgms including musical, bass and drum elements to get your beats knocking with minimal effort. A mixture of laid back vibes to the dirt and grit of Brooklyn, New York, where Marco calls home. Use the presents and demos to catch your own vibe or guide you on a new musical journey. These sounds are ready to rock RAW with minimal processing. Punch, thump and dirt is the name of the game here. Whether it's one-shots or chopped original breakbeats, this kit has you covered for the inspiration to produce any modern or old school Hip Hop vibe. Be sure to check out Marco Polo's youtube series "MP On The MP" season 1 for a deeper look into using pad thai in his production process! MP has taken his MPC 2000 Xl workflow/approach to new levels in the modern Akai world, and we're excited for you to hear this brand new kit that will change the game.

The library was developed by Matia Simovich (INHALT & Jupiter Rising) to exude thecharacteristic and moody sound that only an OB analog synth can provide. Everything from Prince-like stabs, long pad bursts, and punchy unison basses have been expertly sampled to provide an organic playing experience within the MPC workflow. The emphasis with this library is capturing the distinct and uniquely analog character of this classic polysynth while also making a diverse set of patches that are all production ready and encompass every sound needed to take your song to the finish line. Also included is a comprehensive classic drum kit, and, when combined with the synth patches, gives birth to the OB SYSTEM.
