AKAI PROFESSIONAL MPC-SAMPLE Standalone - Portable sampler, sequencer, and FX processor
MPC workflow made easy
Drawing on nearly 40 years of MPC innovation, the MPC Sample is the most compact and accessible standalone MPC ever introduced by Akai.
The streamlined, playful interface gives instant access to essential functions: a simple press of Shift and a button is enough to access secondary controls.
Sample, slice, produce!
To sample seamlessly and control key parameters, MPC Sample features a high-visibility 2.4" color display. Its high-resolution waveform editor, paired with 3 real-time control knobs and 3 buttons, offers a fast, instantly rewarding workflow.
With Sample Chop mode, instantly slice any sample into 4, 8, or 16 regions, automatically or manually. Combined with real-time Timestretch and RePitch, each slice can be transformed and reinvented on the fly, then assigned to one of the 16 pads in seconds.
Over 100 kits, zero downtime
Compact yet powerful, MPC Sample comes loaded with generous content so you can start creating immediately. With over 100 artist and producer kits included, all the raw material for your next track is already at your fingertips.
Designed for DAWless producers and music lovers, MPC Sample includes MIDI I/O to communicate with synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments. Sync Out lets you synchronize your modular or Eurorack systems and unlock their full potential!
