Akai MPC X Performance and Production Sampler (B-Stock) Overview

Akai MPC X Performance and Production Sampler Product Overview by GAK


Akai's legendary MPC's have been a staple in studios for the last 30 years, with a huge selection of Hip Hop's greats using them as their workstation of choice. Often copied, but never quite replicated, the MPC is the industry standard production centre and with the new MPC X, Akai has managed to improve on an already remarkable product.

Akai’s flagship MPC X is built with a multicore processor (with 2GB of RAM) perfect to get the best out of the native MPC Software 2.3 (can also be run as a plugin on a PC/Mac.) There is a fantastic 10.1-inch multitouch screen and 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive MPC pads. On the front of the unit you will also find 16 touch sensitive assignable pots, a large master encoder know and dedicated menu buttons.

The unit comes with 16GB of on-board storage, so you’ll have more space than you could ever have imagined from an MPC. There is also 10GB of premium sound content from some of the big players in the sound design world including Loopmasters and Capsun Pro Audio.

In regards to connectivity, there are a whole host of options on the back of the unit. There is a built in 2-in/4-out interface on this model, two audio inputs and 8 configurable 1/4 inch jack outputs.

New features include Standalone functionality, CV outputs, audio track recording, clip launching, MPC 2.0.5 Software and a whole load more.

Providing a bridge between studio production and live performance/DJing, if you’re a fan of the previous models then this is a product that you well and truly won’t want to miss out on.

With the new 2.0.5 software update the unit is now Ableton Link and Bluetooth compatible.
