Created by acclaimed NYC beatmaker Marco Polo, the Pad Thai Deluxe MPC Expansion Software from AKAI Professional features new fully composed kits from the Pad Thai series for use with the MPC2 software and hardware. Marco Polo is known for his productions for hip-hop luminaries including Rakim, Masta Ace, Scarface, Pharoahe Monch, Westode Gunn, and Talib Kweli, and his signature sound of dirty, impactful drums is well represented in this collection.
The 24 programs on offer provide a variety of musical, bass, and drum elements to get your grooves flowing—all featuring the kind of punchy, hard-hitting beats, one shots, and cut-up breaks that have made Brooklyn a continuing source of hip-hop innovation and inspiration. The tough and gritty sounds are presented raw and unprocessed, for that straight-from-the-crate feel, and are well suited to both classic and modern hip-hop as well as R&B, pop, and soul productions.
