Akai Professional MPC X SE Sampling Drum Machine

The MPC X Special Edition stands as the pinnacle of music production hardware, combining decades of legendary MPC heritage with cutting-edge technology that redefines what’s possible in a standalone unit. Powered by a quad-core processor and equipped with 4GB of RAM, this powerhouse delivers lightning-fast performance for the most demanding production workflows. The generous 48GB of internal storage ensures your entire sound library remains accessible, whilst WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity free you from the constraints of cables during high-speed data transfers.

At the heart of the MPC X SE lies comprehensive connectivity that makes it the central hub of any modern studio setup. The unit features 2 MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs for controlling synthesizers and keyboards, plus 8 dedicated 3.5mm TS outputs for driving modular and eurorack devices. Professional audio capture is handled through dual combination XLR-1/4” inputs with phantom power, alongside dedicated turntable RCA inputs with ground connection for pristine vinyl sampling. The adjustable 10-inch multi-gesture display and 16 touch-capacitive Q-Link knobs with OLED screens provide intuitive control during extended creative sessions.

The creative arsenal includes over 25 premium plugin instruments ranging from the Fabric XL synthesizer to Stage EP keyboards, delivering everything from spacious pads to meticulous grand pianos and warm analog brass. The integrated AIR Vocal Suite enables real-time harmony and vocal tuning, whilst creative effects like AIR Flavor, Half Speed, and Stutter add professional polish to productions. The revolutionary Akai Stems feature, available separately, introduces AI-powered stem separation that isolates drums, bass, music, and vocals from any audio source, fundamentally changing how producers approach sampling and remixing workflows.
