MPC Expansion: Marco Polo Presents Pad Thai Deluxe is 48% off for Black Friday at $20, with the deal running until Jan 10, 2027. It's an AKAI expansion pack for MPC built around Marco Polo's Pad Thai drum kit series.
Akai Professional and Marco Polo released it as Pad Thai Deluxe Vol 1. The maker describes it as the cream of the crop from the acclaimed Pad Thai series.
The core of the pack is 24 brand new, fully composed beats and programs. Each one includes musical, bass and drum elements, so a beat can knock with minimal effort.
Marco Polo is known for hard, dusty drums, and the maker says he has spent years digging for records to build his kits that way. The pack follows that approach.
The sounds are meant to run RAW with minimal processing. Punch, thump and dirt are the focus.
The pack covers modern and old school Hip Hop vibes. Use the presets and demos to find your own angle or follow a direction you hadn't planned.
Marco Polo calls Brooklyn, New York home. He has produced for Hip Hop names including Rakim, Scarface, Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch, Westside Gunn and Talib Kweli.
The maker says he has carried his MPC 2000 XL workflow into the modern Akai world, and that this kit is the result.
For a closer look at how he uses Pad Thai in his production process, the maker points to his YouTube series "MP On The MP", season 1.
This expansion is compatible with the AKAI MPC Beats DAW. MPC software or hardware is required to use the pack.
