AKAI MPX16 This is a sampler equipped with 16 velocity-sensitive pads with backlights. The stable AKAI pads are easy to press, making them suitable for live performances. The unit has 10 banks, allowing you to control 160 pads with the unit alone. The pad layout can be freely changed, and finger drumming can be customized to your liking. Also, by assigning a single sound source to multiple pads and independently adjusting velocity, pitch, and other fine details, you can have plenty of fun even with the sounds already included in the unit. For example, you can create a bassline by giving 808kick.909kick a scale, or you can create a keyboard bassline with a fixed velocity and a stepwise scale for a stable output level. Furthermore, by recording on the unit or importing from a PC, you can sample original material to an SD card, create multiple additional banks, and assign them to any pad. As long as the SD card has enough capacity, you can even sample long sounds, such as an entire song. This is a compact stereo sampler that can be used in various situations, such as music production and performance in studios and on stage, as well as for sound effects in events and theater. It also has a MIDI input, so it can be used as a MIDI sound source, and a MIDI output, so it can control other MIDI devices. It's a standalone sampler, so no PC is required. You can also connect it to a PC and manage sounds using the free downloadable software. [Included Items] Original box Power adapter Instruction manual Operation confirmed. Lightly disinfected.
