MPC Expansion: Glitterball Black Friday deal: AKAI's disco expansion pack for MPC and Force is 48% off at $15, with the offer ending Jan 10, 2027.
The pack is titled "Sanny X & 8fonk presents the Glitterball". It is built around the sound of late-70s Disco, the era of Studio 54, the Paradise Garage and The Loft.
Glitterball is an expansion pack for AKAI's MPC and Force platforms. AKAI describes it as rhythmic and instrumental Disco elements you load up and use to build your own original productions.
It was recorded and assembled by DJ/producer Sanny X. Guitar comes from 8fonk, who teamed up with him on the project.
AKAI says the pack takes its cue from the grooves of Nile Rodgers/Chic and Sister Sledge.
The maker's pitch is that crisp, dynamic modern recording tech meets a group of real 70s musicians. It also says Disco has never been captured with this much authenticity across the genre's musical styles, instruments and arrangements.
Per the maker, the pack covers two broad areas:
The focus is on pieces you arrange yourself rather than finished songs. You load the sounds, build your own patterns, and write original tracks around them.
You need MPC software or MPC hardware to use the pack. Without one of those, the expansion has nothing to load into.
AKAI also lists the pack as compatible with the AKAI MPC Beats DAW. If you work in MPC Beats, that is covered.
The pack is made for MPC and Force, so it sits in the same workflow as the rest of your AKAI expansion library. Load it from within the MPC environment like any other expansion.
If you want a ready-made palette for four-on-the-floor grooves, funk guitar and 70s-style arrangements, this is the kind of pack AKAI built it to be.
