Akai Professional MPC Sample Sampler Sequencer and Effects Processor

Pack 60 effects, real-time timestretch, instant chop, and a retro colour compressor into your backpack — MPC Sample delivers studio-grade DSP in a battery-powered sampler you can take anywhere.

 

Compact and Portable Music Production

The MPC Sample is the most portable standalone MPC ever made. It features 16 RGB backlit pads with polyphonic aftertouch in a compact format. Additionally, the built-in 3-watt speaker and internal mic let you sample and record without any extra gear. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 5 hours of playback, so you can create music wherever you go.

Powerful Sampling and Sequencing Engine

Under the hood, you get 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, including over 100 factory kits. The disk-streaming engine handles fast playback across 32 stereo voices. Furthermore, the onboard sequencer offers real-time swing at 960 PPQN resolution. A vibrant 2.4″ full-colour display makes chopping and editing quick and intuitive.

 

Rich Effects and Sound Shaping

Shape your sound with 60 onboard effects and four dedicated effects processors. These include a new master compressor with retro colour for warm, punchy mixes. You can also control effects in real time using three knobs and a legacy parameter slider. As a result, hands-on tweaking feels natural and immediate.

 

Versatile Connectivity

In terms of I/O, the MPC Sample covers all the essentials. It includes stereo 1/4″ line inputs and outputs, a 1/8″ headphone jack, and MIDI In/Out via 1/8″ TRS. On top of that, you get sync out, microSD card support, and USB-C for power, data, audio, MIDI, and smart device sampling.
