Fun Pad Sampler for On-the-go Producers!

Akai’s MPX16 sampler builds on the original MPX8, giving you more pads and an expanded set of sound-shaping possibilities. Sample anything from MP3s to your cheering audience easily thanks to the onboard stereo microphone and external audio inputs, or you can import and export (even drag and drop!) your sounds via the SD card slot or USB. A set of 16 velocity-sensitive, backlit trigger pads featuring onboard effects options with top-panel controls makes performance fun.

Live sampling adds to your show

The MPX16 overcomes the limitations of previous samplers that were only able to play back samples and not record them. With the internal stereo microphone, get down quick ideas or sample your crowd and add it to your mix to make your audience a part of the show. External audio inputs mean you can use your audio interface outputs to pull samples from existing DAW sessions on the fly or record vocals and other acoustic sources directly to the MPX16. And the onboard effects processing can be used to shape any sample – imported or recorded.
