The Fabric Collection is a multi-sample virtual instrument from AIR Music Technology, built on a two-layer sample synthesis engine with a percussion layer and available in several plugin versions with different resource needs.
The Fabric Collection brings the sound engine of the Fabric XL instrument, originally made for Akai's MPC and FORCE hardware, to your DAW. Its synthesis engine combines two multi-sample oscillator layers with a percussive layer, each with independent filter, envelope and LFO controls. The collection includes thousands of presets and over 3 GB of content, spanning pads, basses, leads, pianos, strings and classic poly synths.
The engine uses two multi-sample layer oscillators and one percussive layer, with independent filter, envelope and LFO controls. You can start from one of the included presets or build a patch from the ground up with the editing tools.
The instrument also includes built-in effects such as EQ, amp and cabinet simulations, compressors, reverbs, delays and modulation. These let you shape a sound without adding extra plugins to the chain.
The collection offers several plugins with the same sound library but different resource requirements. The full Fabric plugin is the flagship version with the best sound engine and highest voice count.
Fabric has the same sound choices with fewer voices and lower standalone resource requirements. Fabric Piano and Fabric Electric Piano are dedicated versions focused on piano and electric piano sounds with lower system demands, useful when you need those tones without loading the full instrument.
