■Sample Player

The MPX8 is a compact and convenient sample player that allows you to load audio sample data stored on a standard SD card (sold separately), assign it to eight backlit pads, and play it back. It's ideal for studio and live performances, as well as for creating sound effects for theater productions and streaming videos.

The MPX8 is equipped with standard MIDI input and output terminals, allowing you to connect to external MIDI devices using the included 1/8"" to MIDI converter cable. You can play external MIDI sound sources by striking the MPX8's pads, or play the MPX8's audio samples from an external MIDI controller.

The included MPX8 Sample Kit Editor (available for download) allows you to easily set parameters such as tuning, reverb, trigger type, level, pan, and MIDI note number, and convert audio samples to a format compatible with the MPX8, all on your computer before loading them into the MPX8.

The MPX8 comes with 21 built-in audio samples, including vintage drum machine sounds, sound effects, and bass sounds. You can also download a free loop library from the AKAI Professional website. This compact, easy-to-use sample player lets you use these samples, along with your own original samples, for a wide range of genres and situations.
