Akai MPX16 Portable Sampler and MIDI Controller

The MPX16 overcomes the limitations of previous samplers that were unable to record samples, only play them back. With the internal stereo microphone get down quick ideas or sample your crowd and add it to your mix to make your audience a part of the show. External audio inputs mean you can use your audio interface outputs to pull samples from existing DAW sessions on the fly or record vocals and other acoustic sources directly to the MPX16. And the onboard effects processing can be used to shape any sample – imported or recorded.
