The Akai Professional MPC X Special Edition (SE) is a standalone Music Production Centre (MPC), the most powerful MPC system. The MPC X SE features more internal storage and memory than other MPC hardware, boasts flagship tactile control, comes with a complete MPC Plugin Instrument collection including Fabric XL Synthesizer Plugin and features a retro aesthetic look.
MPC Power
The MPC X SE features a 10.1-inch multi-gesture touchscreen display, 16 assignable Q Link Knobs with OLEDs that provides instant visual feedback and 2 In / 4 Out MIDI, the only MPC to feature this.
The MPCXSE is powered by a quad-core processor that is boosted by a massive 4GB of RAM onboard. This ensures effective delivery of sampling and, recording, and loading instruments, samples to more extensive projects is instantaneous and efficiently carried out. In addition, there is also a massive 48GB of expanded internal storage, which is ideal for saving larger projects, sequences and drum programs to your beats instantly without any interruption.
35 Years of Innovation and Sampling
MPC continues to lead the way with their innovative hardware, creating industry-leading units that provide its users with advanced technology to bring their music-making ideas to fruition. After years of gaining knowledge and expertise, they continue to build that into the MPC range with their seamless touchscreen technology, wireless integration, e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ableton Link 3 and feature more I/Os than ever before.
Hardware / Software Utilisation
The MPC grid with 16 pads has been the standard input technique for many years. These next-gen pads are a throwback to the classic grey design with a modern twist: RGB lighted borders and pressure sensitivity. The Notes and Chords modes make it simple to tap out rhythms, melodies, or chords on thousands of in-built instruments. The award-winning flagship "Fabric XL" power synth, the Stage Piano, the OPx4 FM synth, and many more instruments are all included in MPC X SE. In addition, MPC has advanced alongside modern music producers by incorporating cutting-edge insert effects for manipulating audio and new sounds and features. Stutter, Granulator, Half Speed, the AIR Vocal Effects suite, MotherDucker, AMP Sim, and many more plugins are just some of the many that you can explore. To give your MPC X SE something extra, visit the MPC online store and download other plugin instruments, such as the Mini D synthesiser and the Flavour Pro multi-effects processing unit. With the available WiFi, you can update wirelessly, efficiently and in minutes.
