AKAI Pro has introduced its most portable standalone MPC for sampling, sequencing, and beatmaking.
Built around the fast, tactile workflow MPC users know and love, MPC Sample makes it easy to record, flip, and shape sounds on the fly with internal resampling, intuitive sequencing, and a fully standalone design featuring a built‑in speaker, microphone, rechargeable battery, and USB‑C connectivity.
The new MPC features 16 velocity‑sensitive MPC pads, a classic MPC sequencer, Instant Sample Chop Mode, real‑time Time‑Stretch and RePitch, three assignable control knobs, a legacy MPC fader, and four onboard FX engines with 60 creative effect types.
Inspired by the classic MPC60 design, this portable sampler, sequencer, and effects processor puts the iconic workflow of vintage MPCs into a compact, modern format with features that empower limitless creativity.
Legendary MPC pads, a full-color display, and simple creative controls encourage hands-on sampling, looping, and beatmaking right out of the box. For immediate idea generation, this standalone hardware comes with over 100 kits, inspiring pad and knobs effects, and an intuitive chopping workflow.
MPC Sample is priced £349 GBP (incl. VAT) / €399 EUR.
