AKAI PROFESSIONAL MPC-X Autonomous - 16 potentiometers, 10,1'' multitouch

1" multi-touch and 16 beautiful, responsive RGB pads, powered by a multi-core microprocessor specifically designed for the powerful MPC Software 2.0. In addition to the dedicated menu buttons, the station features a large rotary encoder and 16 assignable touch knobs (Q-Links) with an oLed display that provides an ultra-precise, individualized overview of parameters to create nuanced recordings. The MPC X's touchscreen, as smooth and comfortable as that of a smartphone or tablet, combined with the production features, opens the door to limitless creative possibilities: clip launch, real-time time-stretch; grab, pinch and edit waveforms; program the sequencer step-by-step; record, sequence and edit audio and Midi; apply XY effects directly on the 10.1''of the MPC X through specific settings and more.

The MPC X features a multitude of connections that ensure a quick fit for all types of studios. A 2-in/4-out Midi interface allows for easy connection to controllers, Midi modules, synthesizers or drum machines, providing full control and programming capability. With an arsenal of inputs and outputs (XLR, 1/4" and 1/4" jacks, RCA), studio quality audio capture, direct monitoring options and switchable phantom power, the MPC X is at the heart of any production setup. Additional connection options include 8 CV/gate outputs and a customizable CV program that can be configured directly on the MPC X's display - the ultimate solution for driving modular devices and CV synthesizers via its unmatched controls and sequencer functionality.

The MPC X takes advantage of MPC Software 2.0, Akai Professional's update to its popular software. Usable in standalone mode, MPC Software 2.0 can also work as a plug-in to all known DAWs on Mac and PC, or as a standalone application. Learn more about MPC v2.3
