AKAI Professional MPC X

The Akai MPC X Sampling Workstation is a stand-alone sampling workstation featuring two MIDI inputs, four MIDI outputs, eight configurable CV/gate outputs and two USB slots. The X is a standalone music production controller featuring a full colour 10.1” multi-touch screen, 16 amazingly responsive, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads and 16GB of internal storage. The X also features two USB slots that can be used for MIDI controller connectivity.

Powering the X is the MPC 2.0 Software, which runs in standalone mode. Sixteen touch-sensitive 360-degree assignable pots are included for precisely automating individual QLink parameters. Above each of those QLink pots is a high-resolution OLED display, detailing info for the individual parameter. The Vault 2.0 features samples and kits from top-notch sound design companies including Capsun Audio, MVP Loops and CR2 Records.

The X features a 2.5” SATA drive connector providing additional storage via installation of a fixed hard drive. Additionally, sounds can be accessed and added to the library using the built-in SD Card slot or the USB thumb drive. Onboard CV/Gate outputs enable the analogue control of modular gear such as classic synths and drum machines. Two RCA phono inputs with RIAA preamps are included to ensure the right levels are coming into the X from your turntable.
