Description

Standalone Production: Retro Soul, Modern Power

The Akai Professional MPC X Special Edition (SE) is the most powerful standalone sampling workstation ever released, designed to be the definitive centrepiece for professional music producers and live performers. Celebrating 35 years of MPC innovation, this special edition combines the iconic aesthetic of the legendary MPC 60 with cutting-edge internal hardware. Whether you are a beatmaker needing a distraction-free environment or a touring musician requiring a robust all-in-one instrument, the MPC X SE delivers a comprehensive 128-track MIDI sequencer, a high-end 24-bit audio interface, and a massive library of over 6,000 presets - all without needing a computer.

Unrivalled Processing and Expanded Workflow

At the heart of the MPC X SE is a high-performance quad-core ARM processor paired with 4GB of RAM, doubling the memory of the standard model. This translates to lightning-fast loading times, expanded sampling capabilities, and fluid real-time recording, ensuring your creative momentum is never interrupted by technical lag. With a massive 48GB of internal storage, you have more than enough space to manage complex projects and house massive sound libraries directly on the device.

Boutique Sound Engine and Studio-Grade FX

The MPC X SE comes pre-loaded with the MPC Instrument Collection, featuring over 25 powerful plug-in synthesizers and 100+ high-quality effects. From the warmth of analog emulations like the Odyssey to the modern textures of the Fabric XL, the sound engine provides a professional sonic palette for any genre. Furthermore, specialized FX plug-ins for pitch correction and four-part vocal harmonies allow you to produce industry-standard tracks entirely within the unit.

The Ultimate Tactile Production Experience

Precision is built into the hardware with 16 ultra-responsive, RGB-backlit pads that maintain the classic MPC feel for expressive finger-drumming and sample triggering. Complementing the iconic pads are 16 touch-capacitive Q-Link knobs, each featuring its own dedicated OLED display. These encoders allow you to precisely automate parameters and "screw" with sounds in real-time, providing an intuitive, hands-on experience that mirrors the workflow of high-end analog consoles.
