Allmänt

The Akai MPX16 is an upgraded, slightly larger version of the Akai MPX8. The MPX16 sample recorder/player has twice as many drum pads as its predecessor and features a wide range of sound editing options. While the MPX8 was merely a sample player, the MPX16 is capable of making its own recordings: the portable sampler creates CD-grade (WAV) samples and stores them on an SD card. The MPX16 can be powered by means of the included adapter, or via a USB cable (connect it to your laptop, for instance), and is equipped with a built-in stereo microphone for recording purposes.

MPX16: A world of possibilities

Whether you prefer to record your own sounds on location, or to upload them via an SD card from your Mac/PC, all samples can be triggered by means of the 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads. For a device of such compact dimensions, the MPX16 offers a wide range of editing options, including two envelopes - for amplitude and filter - the latter of which allows you to adjust the frequency, the resonance and the envelope amount. Volume, pitch, panning, reverb and compressor can also be altered. As it features both MIDI I/O and USB MIDI, the MPX16 can serve as a pad controller for your software too.
