Limitless Sound

The MPS-10 provides you with an expansive collection of 2,350 assignable Instruments (INST pads) and over 3000 high-quality samples, allowing you to unleash your creativity. Enjoy a vast collection of fascinating, helpful sounds, ranging from dynamically expressive instrument tones and captivatingly nuanced variations based on the force of your stroke to the key electric instrument sounds that power so much current drumming.

Classical percussionists will enjoy the addition of congas, bongos, and other instruments, while acoustic percussionists will appreciate the wide range of useful, dynamic, and realistic sounds. The repeated phrases, powerful sounds for games, TV commercials, and movie trailers, mesmerising melodic steelpan tones, and a variety of HIT/SFX sounds will entice you to explore.

Looping

Improve your performance with the amazingly versatile and strong 4-track looper. Enjoy the dedicated looper effects, and create elaborate looping phrases that will excite your imagination - and your audience! With synchronised settings that enable seamless playback between tracks and the ability to export each track as a WAV file, your creative possibilities will be expanded beyond real-time performance.

CC Pads

Set out on a journey of audio manipulation with the four imaginative and unexpectedly powerful CC pads. The MPS-10's top four pads can be utilised as CC pads, detecting the striking position with amazing precision and providing straightforward control over effect parameters.

Explore gradual filtering, EDM-inspired drum rolls using Note Delay, and real-time tone alterations using the powerful MFX capabilities. With unrivalled control and expression, you can take your drumming skills to new heights.

Other Features

The sampler function allows you to express your creativity by importing user samples with ease. Easily import your favourite sounds from a USB flash drive into the MPS-10, assign them to any pad, and even replace portions of preset kits with your own soundset.

Take centre stage with confidence, as the brilliant full-colour display is simple to read even in harsh lighting. Adjust the saturation to achieve your desired visual clarity. With three-color LEDs illuminating each pad, you can easily navigate your sonic journey, assuring consistent performance even on the darkest stages.

The pad arrangement is intended to provide optimum setup and striking locations when integrated into a drum kit, resulting in more comfortable playing and greater strike detection. While preserving the conventional pad size, it can fit ten pads in a small housing.

The top panel of the MPS-10 is made of hard coated polycarbonate with a thickness of 2mm, a material commonly used in percussion instruments that require extremely high impact resistance, and it will successfully protect the LCD screen even during intense physical performances. The knobs have highly durable metal shafts, and the curvature of the plastic cover is intended to keep excessive force from being applied to the inside of the knob shafts or the PCB. 

Although it has a sophisticated design, it is built to withstand the rigours of the road and has passed comprehensive and rigorous testing, certifying it as professional-grade equipment with no compromises on durability.
