Fabric XL is a powerful virtual instrument that brings the acclaimed sound engine from MPC and FORCE standalone platforms directly into your DAW. It features a rich collection of sounds including lush pads, deep synth basses, classic 808 tones, cutting-edge leads, silky Rhodes, acoustic pianos, and expressive strings. This collection is designed to inspire creativity across various genres, offering a broad sonic palette with over 1,200 patches and more than 3 GB of high-quality content.

To optimize performance and resource usage, the Fabric Collection includes multiple plugin versions tailored for different needs. The standard Fabric plugin offers the same core sounds as Fabric XL but with fewer voices and reduced system demands. Additionally, Fabric Piano and Fabric Electric Piano provide focused access to piano and electric piano sounds respectively, making it easier to find and use these instruments without loading the full plugin. This approach ensures efficient workflow and flexibility in sound selection.

Compatible with VST 2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats, as well as MPC and FORCE standalone systems, the Fabric Collection integrates seamlessly into a wide range of production setups. It features a resizable high-resolution interface and includes high-quality effects such as delay, reverb, phaser, and chorus for detailed sound shaping. The software supports activation on up to three devices, covering both PC and Mac platforms. An internet connection is required for authorization, and installation of Akai's MPC desktop software version 2.11 or higher is necessary for desktop plugin use.
