MPX8 SD Sample Player Akai

An SD card sample reader is simple. But the MPX8 controller offers so much more!

Controllers, there are big ones, inconvenient, expensive and really nazi. And then there's the MPX8: small, handy, high-performance and cheap. Why make it complicated when you can make it simple? The principle here is to load any sample via an SD card and then assign it to one of the eight pressure- and velocity-sensitive pads. All you have to do is play these pads arranged on a case with intuitive ergonomics and ultra practical format thanks to its small dimensions, allowing you to use it both in the bedroom, or in the studio it is according to, as in concert configuration.

Complete connectivity.

Powered via a USB port, the MPX8 offers all the necessary connections with stereo audio outputs and headphones, Midi input/output in mini jack format and, of course, a port for the SD card. Very practical to take in hand or even to store in his handbag, Ladies, or in his musette, Gentlemen, it has about twenty on-board sounds that allow you to test it in the second following its unpacking by using, if necessary, the integrated reverb or the Tuning function to embellish the case.

A guaranteed success.

Although it includes a sound bank, the major interest of the MPX8 lies in reading the samples you will feed it! Fast and easy charging thanks to SD cards that can hold up to 32 giga, plenty to do in all circumstances. An ease of use that should ensure its success without a doubt, whether with deejays, MCs in general and musicians of course who will have a cheap drum machine with excellent samples drawn here or there.

Everything is planned.

To summarize, the MPX8 is a portable and off-road sample player that will delight, at a lower cost, those who have not yet tasted the pleasures of sampling as well as nomadic musicians. In this regard, do not forget that the creation of your samples and their possible settings will have to be done on a computer. But rest assured, Akai has everything planned by providing, graciously of course, an editing software, compatible Mac and PC, which will allow you to save and configure the sounds stored on the SD card with a simple drag and drop or a click of the mouse.
