Akai MPX16 Portable Sampler

The Akai MPX16 Portable Sampler is the latest sampler from Akai professional who few would argue are true innovators when it comes to sampling.

The MPX16 features 16 MPC style pads, plays and records CD quality .WAV samples using SD cards and is also a fully featured MIDI pad controller. In addition to these features the MPX16 features onboard recording via the inbuilt stereo microphone or through 6.3mm (1/4 inch) inputs.

Akai MPX16 users can assign audio clips to the pads and sculpt these sounds using the onboard tuning, filters, envelopes and 'choke' grouping which allows for dynamic performances. Visual feedback is provided by both an LCD screen and the illuminated MPC pads and power can be supplied to the unit from either USB or the included power supply. The MPX16 offers users the capability to load existing audio files onto an SD card or the unit can act as an SD card reader (when connected via USB) for drag and drop file transfer using a Mac or PC.
