Powering the X is our stellar MPC 2.0 Software, which runs natively in standalone mode. 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 16 gigs of internal storage.

In creating the new MPC X, we’ve learned lessons from every MPC that preceded it to engineer a production centerpiece truly fit to be the Music Production Center of the future. Countless instruments have attempted to replicate the design, workflow and celebrated swing of the Music Production Center. We’ve created machines that have spawned new genres and advanced existing ones. Note that you also receive a ton of free expansions with your MPC that can be downloaded right there.The history of modern music is intrinsically linked to the Akai Professional MPC line.
