Akai MPX8

A versatile, compact sample player, the Akai MPX8 features eight velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for triggering samples and sounds.

The included drag-and-drop sample editor simplifies sound management, and the MPX has a pool of built-in sounds to get you started.

Additional sounds can be easily loaded via the SD card slot.

The tuning control is useful for adjusting the pitch of samples, while the midi inputs/outputs turn the MPX8 into a midi controller for external gear or software plug-ins.
