AKAI Professional MPC X SE - Standalone Production Workstation and Beat Maker with 10.1" Multi-Touch Screen, Drum Pads, Synth Engines, 48GB Storage

Product Information

years ago, MPC made its debut and revolutionized pattern-based music production and ushered in a new era of groove-based production. Because the UI was designed to be fully stand-alone, it lets you work without referencing your computer when in controller mode. The standalone instrument is built around a quad-core processor and equipped with 4GB of RAM, the MPC X SE delivers more sampling power than ever before, boasting faster loading times for instruments, samples and projects, whilst 48GB of internal storage offers increased space for projects, sequences and drum programs.

In addition, MPC has advanced alongside modern music producers by incorporating cutting-edge insert effects for manipulating audio and new sounds and features.Too big to be carried around and destined to get slow and chuggy after a few years of MPC updates just like a regular computer or smartphone, something I would not like out of such a big and expensive unit if it is expected to be used for a long time. Our approach to converter decoupling reduces noise generated during the conversion process, leaving you with crisp, clear audio! USB-A host ports enable lightning-fast connections to storage devices, bus-powered USB controllers, MIDI expanders, class-compliant audio interface devices, and more. MPC X Special Edition is upgraded with more memory, more internal storage, and comes fully loaded with the MPC Instrument Collection making MPC X Special Edition the most powerful MPC ever.

As I’ve previously reported, the team at Akai have managed to design a dedicated touch interface for the MPCs that enhances the hardware experience rather than undermining it.

With an upgraded 4GB of RAM, you're able to grab longer pieces of audio for truly expanded creative possibilities. This one pivotal moment transformed the sound of HipHop and electronic music forever introducing a new fusion of genres such as NewJackSwing, Boombap to the deep souful sound of Chicago House.
