For the vinyl junkies, two RCA phono inputs with RIAA preamp have been included to ensure the right levels are coming into the X directly from your turntable.
Onboard CV/Gate outputs enable the analog control of modular gear such as classic synths and drum machines. The MPC X has a number of additional features that make it the most powerful standalone music production tool to date.
Additionally, sounds can be accessed and added to the library using the built-in SD Card slot or the USB thumb drive. Want to incorporate your own samples without tethering to a computer? The X features a 2.5” SATA drive connector providing more storage via external hard drive – SSD or HDD. Pre-installed with 10 gigs of world-class sounds, The Vault 2.0 features samples and kits from top-notch sound design companies including Capsun Audio, MVP Loops, CR2 Records, as well as our own radio-ready kits. The MPC has a well-earned reputation for sounds that hit hard and sound great, right out of the box. Future versions will support Ableton Link. A number of major workflow enhancements have been added to 2.0, including: audio track recording, an improved time warp algorithm, refined Q-Link control, audio and MIDI drag and drop – all appearing on a new graphical interface. Capable of running natively on the MPC X in standalone mode, MPC 2.0 can also be run from a Mac or PC with the X tethered to a computer. Powering the mighty X is MPC 2.0, Akai Professional’s new update to the MPC software.
Rounding out the controls are dedicated menu buttons, a large master encoder knob and 16 touch-sensitive 360º assignable pots (Q-Links) with OLED displays, perfect for precisely automating individual parameters and delivering expressively nuanced recordings. To make it a truly untethered, computer-free experience, the X also features two USB slots that can be used for MIDI controller connectivity. The X is a standalone MPC featuring a beautiful, full color 10.1” multi-touch screen, 16 amazingly responsive, velocity and pressure sensitive RGB pads and packs 16 gigs of internal storage.
