The Fabric Collection Black Friday deal brings 80% off this virtual instrument bundle, $49 until Nov 26, 2026, covering the Fabric XL synth and three lighter versions of it.
Fabric XL began on AIR's MPC and FORCE standalone platforms. This collection moves it into your DAW as a plugin.
The maker pitches it as a source of modern sounds for any production, from lush pads and drones to 808 vibes, leads, pianos and articulated strings.
You get four plugins that share the same sound choices:
The smaller plugins are there to save CPU and RAM. Load one of them when you only need a piano or a lighter patch and don't want the full instrument open.
The engine is a multi-sample synthesizer with two sample layers and one percussion layer. Each layer has its own filter, envelope and LFO.
You can tweak the presets or build a patch from scratch. The maker says there are thousands of presets across genres, drawing on more than 3GB of content.
The sound set runs from dark, moving pads and droning sub-basses to guitars, plucks, pianos, EPs, classic poly synths and leads.
The effects section covers EQ, amp and cab sims, compressors, reverbs, delays and modulation. That's enough to put shimmer, dark echoes or phaser sweeps on a patch without opening another plugin on the channel.
The plugin runs as VST 2/3, AU (Mac) and AAX. Mac support covers macOS Big Sur through Ventura, including Apple Silicon, and Windows support covers Windows 10 and 11.
Buying it also lets you unlock the same sounds on Akai Professional MPC and FORCE standalone hardware, so a project can move between the box and your DAW with the same patches.
An internet connection is needed to authorise the software.
Yes. The Fabric Collection Black Friday deal takes 80% off, bringing the bundle to $49, and it runs until Nov 26, 2026. That covers Fabric XL plus Fabric, Fabric Piano and Fabric Electric Piano.
