Sample simplicity with pad playability!
Simplicity is key for the Akai Professional MPX8 SD sample controller. This compact and versatile sample player offers eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads that you can use to trigger samples and sounds. An included drag-and-drop sample editor makes managing your sounds simple, and MPX comes with a huge library of built-in sounds to get you started. Built-in options include tuning and reverb control, and with MIDI and USB connectivity, it's easy to integrate your Akai Professional MPX8 with the rest of your gear.
