The XYFX allow you to control multiple effect parameters simultaneously, while the sequencer and mix page make short work of entering/deleting notes, editing values, and adjusting mix parameters. View samples with 'pinch' zoom, trim start and end times, and adjust and process samples on the fly. The full-color 10' multi-touch screen offers quick and easy visual feedback and editing capabilities. Content can easily be uploaded and/or recorded to the full-sized SD card or USB thumb drives. Should you wish to incorporate your own samples and recordings, the MPC X offers a 2.5' SATA drive connector, allowing you to install an optional SSD or HDD hard drive. The MPC X is pre-installed with 'The Vault 2.0'-a 10GB library of world-class sounds-featuring samples and kits from top-notch sound-design companies including Capsun Audio, MVP Loops, CR2 Records, as well as Akai's own high-quality content. The MPC 2.0 software has added some powerful features including audio track recording, real-time time-stretching (audio warping), pitch-shifting, audio and MIDI drag-and-drop, clip program mode for clip-launching, an updated mixer layout with advanced signal routing, and enhanced Q-Link control.

What's more, the unit can operate in Control Mode, which further expands the functionality by connecting to a computer to operate the same MPC 2.0 standalone software as a plugin in your favorite DAW. The MPC X incorporates a powerful 1.8 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex A17 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage to power the MPC 2.0 software, without the need to connect to a host computer.

The MPC X from Akai Professional is a powerful standalone music production workstation, complete with an integrated sampler, sequencer, 10' touch screen, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit pads and 16 endless encoder 'Q-Link' controls, each with an OLED display.
